Traditional Peoples and Communities are groups of people united in a territory, with a peculiar culture, close to natural resources and who value their traditional knowledge. When the knowledge of these social group is preserved, the whole framework of their culture and identity is also preserved. The territories are necessary spaces for cultural, political, social and economic reproduction, and have their symbolic force in all this plot, so it is evident that they act to protect their territories. In the context of the post-developmentalist current, the objective of the article is to analyze, based on the logic of these social actors, a viable alternative to the hegemonic project of economic development. The methodology is based on qualitative, bibliographic and documental research, being a theoretical revision with a critical, interdisciplinary. The results show that Good Living can be considered as an viable alternative to development, in which Peoples and Traditional Communities present a protagonism in the struggle for their rights, equity and social justice. This being said, Good Living presents itself as an opportunity for the collective construction of a new way of life.
