Abstract
This academic essay aims to articulate epistemologically indigenous knowledge and the ethical-political discourse of collective health through the proposal of the ecology of knowledges of Boaventura de Souza Santos. Undoubtedly, the incursion of indigenous knowledge in universities as a new academic agenda requires that the dialogue between popular knowledge and scientific knowledge be deepened in the field of health. This discussion proposes a challenge for collective health from cognitive justice, decoloniality and situated knowledge.
