Abstract
The constitutional recognition of the rights to cultural identity and indigenous justice has led to the requirement that courts conduct an intercultural interpretation in cases involving indigenous or indigenous communities. This article presents a proposal on intercultural interpretation of principles and rules, taking into account that the effectiveness of those constitutional principles faces major barriers such as racism and discrimination. However, the idea that law interpretation raises moral problems is also highlighted because in these cases the interpreter has to choose the way in which the constitutional principles involved will be understood.
