El filme es una celebración de la mujer en el espacio deportivo—no por el hecho de ser mujeres—sino por su alto rendimiento como atletas, o como su definición señala, por esas "doyenne": las mejores y más prominentes en sus respectivos campos de desempeño.

The film is a celebration of women in the sports world—not because they are women—but because of their high performance as athletes, or as their definition points out, for the doyenne: the best and most prominent in their respective field.

El presente texto hace parte de una investigación y experiencia pedagógica desarrollada con mayores y mayoras de la comunidad Misak y niños de instituciones educativas Misak que nutre con múltiples estrategias e interacciones en el aula con los niños y niñas como también con docentes educadores, etnoeducadores e interesados en aprender del mágico mundo de las lenguas a través de didácticas en movimiento. El texto aborda aspectos cotidianos como la familia, oficios, actividades de clase, las prendas de vestir propias, la tul o granja, los animales, las herramientas, los números, los colores, el tiempo, los meses, las horas, descripciones, estados de ánimo, la salud, medios de trasporte, clima y narrativas que abren un amplio campo de investigación pues nos hemos aproximado a la evolución histórica de los relatos que se han clasificado en: Propios, pedagogizados y los relatos o "fabulas traídas" que comprueban las simbiosis vividas a 10 largo de las historias de colonización de los pueblos amerindios y que ahora se denomina aproximación a los estudios interculturales. Es decir, aquí se presenta no tan solo una herramienta didáctica sino también abre una aproximación investigativa a través de los idiomas y relatos.

This text is part of a research and pedagogical experience developed with elders from the Misak community and children from Misak educational institutions that nurture multiple strategies and interactions in the classroom with children as well as educators, ethno-educators and those interested in learning about the magical world of languages ​​through didactics in movement. The text addresses everyday aspects such as family, trades, class activities, clothing, tulle or farm, animals, tools, numbers, colors, time, months, hours, descriptions, states of encouragement, health, means of transportation, climate, and narratives that open a wide field of research because we have approached the historical evolution of the stories that have been classified as: Own, pedagogized, and the stories or "passed-on-fables" that prove the symbiosis lived throughout the histories of colonization of the Amerindian peoples and that now is called intercultural studies. Here is presented not only a didactic tool but also an open research approach through languages ​​and stories.
