Sumario:This article discusses the processes of identity resigning of indigenous youth in intercultural higher education. The aim is to show how behind the strengthening of ethnic identities of the social agents involved in this field of education, necessarily subjective and agency processes are involved to reverse the devalued positions that have been assigned to them externally. For such purposes, testimonies provided by young ñöñho who study at an intercultural university located in their own locality are shared, about some of his past experiences of racism in regional inter-ethnic relations.
