The indigenous ontology has been differentiated from the western one by having a close relationship between humans and non-humans, and by not exerting human supremacy against the rest of the living beings. Nevertheless, throughout the periods of colonization and western influence to which they have been subjected, the notion of human supremacy and the fracture between humans and all beings have been reinforced. These relationships have been altered, perhaps forgotten, due to the aspiration to follow economic models of progress based on extractive activities such as mining that not only affects their territories but also the loss of their culture and identity causing serious socio-environmental problems.  In order to deepen these relationships, raise awareness and understanding the changes that vulnerable populations have to face in a dominant system, this work studies the Harakbut indigenous community of Puerto Luz, in the Madre de Dios region of Peru, and relates a design field in the form of journey which involves research and analysis with stages of knowing and non-knowing from the social science and humanities perspective. Through the anthropological framework, the indigenous and western ontological postulates are understood allowing the development of a creative writing and the correspondence between an interaction of ethnography with the production of new knowledge realities that allow for the verification of the changes this indigenous society, influenced by western dominant power, experiences. This somewhat decolonizing design process gives on to the understanding of new knowledge and challenges that address realities outside Western spheres to generate awareness and change.

This essay seeks to explore the relation between Crimson Bound and the fairy tale from which it derives from. Today, it is common to use fairy tales as a base for new literature, movies and tv-series and therefore it is interesting to study these new additions to our media. By applying Vladimir Propps extensive study of fairy tales to Rosamund Hodges Crimson Bound and the Brothers Grimms Little Red Cap I hope to come to an understanding of the differences and similarities that these two holds. Through this analysis I conclude that Hodges utilizes the functions that Propp states are specific to the fairy tale genre. I also conclude that, although Hodges closely follow the initial structure of Little Red Cap, she deviates from the fairy tale towards the ending. Besides the interesting similarities and the effect of the differences, the roles of the protagonist and the antagonist stands out. Therefore, a portion of this essay delves deeper into how the adaption to the fantasy genre affect these roles as well as how the relationship between then protagonist and antagonist alters due to this.
