This paper explores multiple conceptualisations of interculturality situated within an Ecuadorian Amazonian Kichwa indigenous territory expressed through local discourses. Considering Amerindian perspectivism I analyse three discursive moments occurring within this territory. The first, is a community elder's narrative constructing a distinctive 'inside' versus an 'outside' describing the tension and historical role of education as inherent to sustaining a territorial project. The second, is teacher's representation of intercultural education as that of balancing between an 'own' versus an 'outside' education, presented as part of workshop; and the third, is expressed through an interaction between a student and teacher resulting in the explanation of 'ancestral' education in contrast to a 'western facing' education. I suggest that whilst diverse conceptualisations of interculturality reflects differing ideological tensions over intercultural education these can be understood as congruent with the territorial political project, reconstructing both cultural and ontological boundaries.
