Abstract

Abstract: The present study deals with the unprecedented production of anecdotes considering the cultural elements of the Amazonian Kichwa worldview of the Napo province. The objective is to collect and translate ancestral anecdotal texts through the development of writing meetings with teachers and students from different communities of Tena, to rescue their literary and cultural value. The study is part of the mixed approach, descriptive and testimonial. The selected sample was non-probabilistic and non-random for convenience, mostly teachers and bilingual students from 15 to over 43 years of age participated. The conclusions indicate that 35 anecdotal texts were collected. In them, the experiences around the festivities, gastronomy, hunting and fishing activities, rites and rituals with shamans, family and community experiences loaded with symbols and reference to their thoughts and daily actions are rescued. The participants wrote anecdotes of different types, among which the most prominent are humorous, community, traditions, family, personal and scary. Finally, in the translation of the anecdotes, the unified Kichwa was used, respecting the meaning of the words of the place.
