The demands of Indigenous peoples in Ecuador are one of the main topics to be addressed in the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the Ecuadorian state. These demands are for recognition of their collective rights, self-determination, ownership, and protection of their ancestral lands, as well as enhancement of their own identity, in the face of extractive and neoliberal policies. From this perspective, this thesis has studied the socio-historical, discursive, and normative conditions of the construction of these demands. It has also considered the contexts in which these demands are made and the value conflicts they contain. It has similarly pondered the possibility of overcoming them through different frames of justice (discussion ethics, compromise ethics, development ethics and recognition ethics), as well as other ethics in the Latin American topos. These frames were envisaged as horizons in terms of dialogue and epistemological plurality. To this end, qualitative on-site research was used in the communities of San Pablo de Katëtsiaya (Siekopai nationality) and La Calera community (Kiwcha nationality).
