This essay discusses mediation related to indigenous collectives from the pragmatic approach of sociology, in which the researcher is not in a privileged position, and where all actors have the critical capacity. It is emphasized that while recognizing the different human actors and their voice right, it is still missing "to civilize politics", which allows the entry of non-human entities that previously had no right to speak. In this process, two symmetries are fundamental: between human actors from different worlds and between humans and non-humans. The essay concludes that it is necessary to know of what the world of the other is done - in this case the indigenous world - and their concepts for the mediation become symmetrical.Downloads
