Encuentros beyond ethnography: Indigenizing ethico‐methodologies in the anthropology of education

Abstract Drawing on collaborative research with MILPA on their liberatory curriculum, Telpochcalli, this essay offers “ encuentros ” as a regenerative ethico‐methodology in community‐led and kinship‐grounded anthropological research into Chicano Indigenous educational spaces. Encuentros , encounters with others for relationship‐building and mutual learning, renew and expand existing relational knowledge. If an anthropology of education is concerned with epistemology and decolonization, we should approach how we study Indigenized educational projects with care and creativity.
