Abstract
The article shows how the paradigm of State, in all its political and historical aspects, has denied the identity and humanity of the Aymaras and Quechuas in Bolivia; as well as the Kichwas in Ecuador. This has been done in a continuous and prolonged form culminating in structural oppression from postcolonial domination. In view of this reality a more just and true perspective for change has been proposed by the Aymaras, Quechuas and Kichwas; presenting their identity paradigm: Suma Qamaña, Sumak Kawsay, as a millennial, historical, and as well as an identity proposal. The importance of this proposal is that it is a “holistic” approach which includes the geographical, political/governmental, economical, and social aspects. This, of course, breaks the paradigm of State which would lead to emancipation.
