Abstract

The importance of the indigenous pregnant woman is undeniable, and what competes to diminish the morbidity and mortality of the same. Given the interest of protecting this population group, it is necessary to know their culture in an appropriate manner, which is why the present investigation was carried out. Objective: To describe the practices and cultural knowledge of the health care of the pregnant women of the Indigenous Resguardo Potreritos, Nasa ethnic group. Method: qualitative, ethnographic study, in which indigenous pregnant women of the Nasa ethnic group participated, from the Potreritos chapter, with gestation between 32 and 37 weeks, over 18 years of age. Results: the following categories emerged: I did not like going to the controls, knowing the sex of the baby; how I knew if I was pregnant; Ways to take care during pregnancy. Final considerations: In the pregnant women of the study there is a progressive loss of cultural roots in some aspects generated by the influence of the Western system. This does not represent harm to the pregnant woman or the newborn but it is evident the incursion of Western practices such as prenatal control and preference to institutional delivery especially in younger pregnant women; this pattern is consistent with what Leininger defines in his three modes of action of the rising sun model.
