Sumario:The process of approaching and understanding ancestral cultures, as well as the theoretical-methodological tools used, has generated a great deal of reflection and restructuring in the same conceptions and strategies used in the work carried out in this field. This reflective and analytical process has gone through several stages. What is shown in this article is a restructuring of the theoretical-methodological scaffolds from which it is possible to visualize and carry out the work in the original communities or ancestral peoples. The proposal is based on a systemic approach. It must be taken into account that concepts or terms such as: complexity, systems, transdiscipline, networks, self-organization, structure, etc., have been transformed over time. Subjects and cultures live and update inherited knowledge and practices, which when transmitted also undergo transformations. All this makes up complex swarms and knots of knowledge and practices. Considering cultures as non-improvised forms of life allows us to have a broader and deeper understanding of the phenomena we are approaching. Therefore, sharing these experiences is essential, considering the complexity of the plots, epistemic assumptions and universes of discourse that surround them.
