Connecting Guarani Culture to Space—An Intangible Heritage in the Solar System Science and Education Framework: A Review

Humanity is opening up to cosmos in all its dimensions and areas of knowledge. In this context, Paraguay, due to its multicultural uniqueness and two official languages (Spanish and Guaraní), represents an emblematic example of how legends, traditions and its rich mythology are important in their sociocultural translation to space. They coexist as a link between the past and the future. Guarani traditions, mythology, their relationship with nature and their translation into cosmos are amazing and complex aspects of indigenous cultural heritage, which are still present in many Paraguayan initiatives. This article compiles and integrates the cultural information about this topic, which is dispersed in different sources, and frames it in its corresponding context. Likewise, it unequivocally confirms how this intangible heritage is crucial as a living roadmap and a contemporary challenge that should be preserved as it guides individuals, communities and initiatives to implement earth and space science and education. Guaraní cultural heritage offers valuable insights into how indigenous worldviews continue to shape contemporary ecological and cultural practices in our modern intersection pathway to the cosmos.

Abstract

Humanity is opening up to cosmos in all its dimensions and areas of knowledge. In this context, Paraguay, due to its multicultural uniqueness and two official languages (Spanish and Guaraní), represents an emblematic example of how legends, traditions and its rich mythology are important in their sociocultural translation to space. They coexist as a link between the past and the future. Guarani traditions, mythology, their relationship with nature and their translation into cosmos are amazing and complex aspects of indigenous cultural heritage, which are still present in many Paraguayan initiatives. This article compiles and integrates the cultural information about this topic, which is dispersed in different sources, and frames it in its corresponding context. Likewise, it unequivocally confirms how this intangible heritage is crucial as a living roadmap and a contemporary challenge that should be preserved as it guides individuals, communities and initiatives to implement earth and space science and education. Guaraní cultural heritage offers valuable insights into how indigenous worldviews continue to shape contemporary ecological and cultural practices in our modern intersection pathway to the cosmos.
