El artículo aborda la experiencia realizada en Colombia en los dos últimos años con grupos focales interculturales de 50 autoridades de 50 pueblos indígenas y 50 jueces y magistrados del sistema judicial nacional que intervinieron en procesos judiciales contra autoridades indígenas. Presenta la coordinación jurisdiccional con perspectiva intercultural, etnográfica y procesal, y asume que dicha institución es central en el trabajo social de lo intercultural cuando dos sistemas jurídicos se relacionan judicialmente. Los grupos focales permitieron vislumbrar las dificultades y posibilidades de la interculturalidad entre autoridades indígenas y jueces de la rama judicial, y fijar posiciones antropológicas, políticas y jurídicas de corte intercultural, las cuales se exponen en perspectiva latinoamericana.This article has been organized on a field-work carried out in Colombia, with intercultural focal groups, during two years.
