Decolonizing craft: A systematic literature review of indigenous traditional modes of production in Abya Yala
系统综述47项实证研究，识别原住民传统生产模式的三个维度（亲缘中心范式、互惠经济、代际母系领导），提出应将其视为主权原住民生活方式而非边缘手工艺。
In contrast to the concept of craft, which is shaped by Western ontological assumptions connected to colonial logics, indigenous traditional modes of production (ITMP) arise from a distinct ontological worldview that guides how making is understood and practiced in indigenous communities. To move beyond colonial framings and advance Indigenous-grounded understandings of making, this systematic review draws on 47 empirical studies published in English and Spanish focused on ITMP in Indigenous communities across Abya Yala (Latin America). The review identifies three interrelated dimensions of ITMP: a kincentric paradigm that situates humans within nature, a reciprocal economy that renders making as an act of mutual exchange, and intergenerational matriarchal leadership through which knowledge and responsibility are transmitted. Together, these dimensions form a nested model that centers cultural continuity and renewal in making. Building on these insights, the review foregrounds ITMP as sovereign Indigenous lifeways rather than peripheral forms of craft, underscores the ethical imperative to center Indigenous voices and engage Indigenous epistemologies through respectful and reciprocal relations, and advances a decolonial conception of rigor when conducting a literature review.
