The+study+of+the+Wayuu+culture+focused+on+anthropology

We had the opportunity to interact with the Wayuu individuals, and it is interesting to know that Guajira was an opportunity to work through anthropology methods, we can evidence this actions through: - **making interviews** to the wayuu people: We made an interview to a individual from the Wayuu community. We started from the informal interview through an individual and in a deep way. Each type of interview was inserted to frame of observation in the Guajira field. Anthropologists define the interview as the conversation with the individuals in the society which is the culture we study. Where a human encounter is founded. Some of the errors we observed by doing this method, is that when we were doing a lot of questions, a type of private topics were showed by the Wayuu in their physical expressions(the way they responded, their facials expressions, the way they moved). In this process, is when we realized that they are not the ones who have to give the answer we want to hear. We need to be open minded to different point of views, including their specific and different reactions. We as students need to understand and to comprehend them.


 * - Observation and participant observation:** Not all students, record their data through interviews.Many students have materials which included papers, notebooks in which they could write anything they wanted. Many etnographers in anthropology record trivial imppressions in a journal, which include formal field notes. This helps to point out some of the basic aspects of cultural diversity. These aspects included: distinctive smells, noise and other symbols of the cultural red. Bronislaw Malinowski called "the characteristics of native life and their typical behavior.
