It deals with the debate on the ontology of information between the fields of Library Science, Information Science and Anthropology, in particular, the indigenous studies of Amerindian thought. It addresses three central issues: i) the representation of knowledge, ii) the multinaturalist perspective of knowledge and iii) decolonity. The representation of knowledge is analyzed through informational ontology and its ontological gestures of exclusion, whether in Plato and the atonement of the dissimilar, in Aristotle and the exception of univocity decision of meaning, until Modernity and the realization of the contours of the metaphysics of coloniality and the coloniality of metaphysics. From this Americanist vision, a decolonial perspective of information is proposed. Under the Amerindian complexion, there are elements of perspective of knowledge, as an alternative to change the colonial regimes of capturing beings, knowledge and powers. Finally, there is the propositional suggestion of the formless as an informational difference to unveil the world into new things to see, a task of looking into knowledge, other beings. In our bodies, the skin of other worlds germinates one philosophy of information another another. Finding the paths of what is about to emerge is the text’s decolonial counter-conduct.
