This case study examines how teachers preserve and foster the funds of knowledge students bring to school in the Palenque community of Colombia. Data was collected using the funds of knowledge Matrix instrument, open-ended questions, teacher interviews, and non-participant observations. An analysis of data was done using a domain analysis process, and a category of cultural meanings. The findings included the creation of three new categories: "ethnobotany," "Kuagros," and "Kulum." The study identified teachers' educational practices that fit the culturally relevant profile. These involve rethinking curriculum, reforming instruction, considering the types of funds of knowledge, and a more ethnographic approach.
