    Análisis de los factores que afectaron la reforma de la institucionalidad indígena en el Perú (2000-2011)
    (International Political Science Association, 2020-06-21)
    Este artículo analiza el proceso de agendación de los cambios en el cuerpo de políticas indígenas en la estructura del gobierno peruano entre el 2000 y el 2010. Esta investigación se centra en el análisis de las transformaciones de la estructura institucional que se ocupa de la población indígena, al igual que los factores que explican tales cambios organizacionales en el gobierno a través del tiempo. Los autores aplicaron la metodología de estudio de caso de Michael Barselay y Juan Carlos Cortazar a fin de lograr un acercamiento al proceso de toma de decisiones para éste cambio institucional. Este artículo reconstruye dicho proceso de cambio bajo las perspectivas históricas y politológicas haciendo uso de metodología cualitativa la cual envuelve etnografía, entrevistas a profundidad, la revisión de documentos primarios y fuentes periodísticas. Como resultado de la investigación se concluye que las coyunturas políticas específicas son capaces de abrir ventanas de oportunidad, las cuales permiten la discusión de temas concernientes a las poblaciones indígenas; además, en dicho proceso, el rol jugado por empresarios políticos es relevante para el cambio institucional. Se encontró que dependiendo de la coyuntura su participación puede fortalecer o debilitar a la institución; finalmente, este artículo demuestra que la racionalidad económica, la cual caracteriza al modelo económico peruano, tiende a debilitar a las instituciones que se ocupan de la población indígena. En resumen, el artículo enfatiza la relevancia del estudio de la institucionalidad estatal no solo de sus estructuras formales, sino también en los procesos, la ejecución y los cambios que tienen lugar en la formulación de una política pública.

    Wetland spirits and indigenous knowledge: implications for the conservation of wetlands in the Peruvian Amazon
    (Elsevier, 2021-01-01)
    Globally, the importance of indigenous and local knowledge systems for science, policy, environmental conservation and the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples is increasingly being recognised. The Amazon region in particular is home to many indigenous peoples who have conserved their cultural traditions and knowledge, despite growing threats to the environment and traditional lifestyles and cultures. Based on insights from ethnographic research in three indigenous communities, here we present a case study on the indigenous knowledge of the Urarina people of the Chambira Basin in the Peruvian Amazon and its implications for conservation. We describe, for the first time, a series of anthropomorphic and territorial “wetland spirits”, who are associated with particular wetland ecosystems and range in character from the benign to outright aggressive. Their presence may indirectly benefit conservation of wetlands, as humans fear or respect these wetland spirits and adapt their behaviour accordingly. While benign spirits may be seen as positive models to follow, aggressive spirits may deter unsustainable harvesting of resources through fear of disease or death. However, their cultural status is not adequately captured by such rational-scientific explanations. Wetland spirits are important characters within the indigenous cosmos of humans and non-humans, which is built on a relational, rather than extractive model of connecting humans and nature. We discuss our findings in the context of wider conceptual debates on recognising relational ontologies in environmental policy and conservation, the paradigm of biocultural conservation, as well as their implications for land titling, and incorporating indigenous perspectives in local education.

    Equidade e interculturalidade nas universidades peruanas
    (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, 2021-12-22)
    Para reverter a tendência histórica do sistema universitário peruano de reproduzir a discriminação eurocêntrica contra as culturas e línguas dos cidadãos indígenas e afro-peruanos, neste artigo proponho repensar e articular os princípios de igualdade e inclusão. Defendo que as universidades com maior eqüidade social oferecem melhores condições de ensino e pesquisa de e para a diversidade cultural nacional, regional e global; Além disso, melhoram as oportunidades de acesso, permanência e graduação na educação não só para os alunos dessas cidadanias, mas também para pessoas de todas as identidades. Isso requer a adoção de princípios, abordagens e metodologias interculturais, críticas e descoloniais no ensino superior.

    Home birth preference, childbirth, and newborn care practices in rural Peruvian Amazon
    (Public Library of Science, 2021-05-01)
    Home birth is very common in the Peruvian Amazon. In rural areas of the Loreto region, home to indigenous populations such as the Kukama-Kukamiria, birth takes place at home constantly. This study aims to understand the preference for home births as well as childbirth and newborn care practices among Kukama-Kukamiria women in rural Loreto. Following a case study approach, sixty semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with recent mothers who experienced childbirth within one year prior to the interview, female relatives of recent mothers who had a role in childbirth, male relatives of recent mothers, community health workers, and traditional healers. We found that for women from these communities, home birth is a courageous act and an intimate (i.e. members of the community and relatives participate in it) and inexpensive practice in comparison with institutional birth. These preferences are also linked to experiences of mistreatment at health facilities, lack of cultural adaptation of birthing services, and access barriers to them. Preparations for home births included handwashing and cleaning delivery surfaces. After birth, waiting for the godparent to arrive to cut the cord can delay drying of the newborn. Discarding of colostrum, lack of skin-to-skin contact as well as a range of responses regarding immediate breastfeeding and immediate drying of the baby were also found. These findings were used to tailor the educational content of the Mamas del Rio program, where community health workers are trained to identify pregnancy early, perform home visits to pregnant women and newborns, and promote essential newborn care practices in case institutional birth is not desired or feasible. We make recommendations to improve Peru's cultural adaptation of birthing services.

    Rights to water and water's rights: Plural water governances in mining contexts of Colombia and Peru
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022-01-01)
    In large-scale mining contexts and the consequent generation of socio-environmental inequalities related to access to water, indigenous peoples and peasant communities demand the recognition of other ways of understanding water. In these contexts of dispute, emerge what we call plural water governances , which position diverse relationships and infrastructures of control of water in mining contexts. Likewise, they demand the recognition of other notions of water and water's rights that transcend normative problems and extend to nature-society relations and include non-humans. We present a comparative analysis between large-scale mining areas in Colombia (La Guajira-Cerrejón) and Peru (Apurímac-Las Bambas) and the effects of the infrastructure that are implemented under a notion of water as a public resource. Processes that generate social inequalities, eliminate, or ignore ethnic and local rights, increase the capture of water in some sectors and generate scarcity that affects access, use, and decision-making in relation to water. This chapter is the result of the research carried out in the two areas in Colombia and Peru during 2018 and 2019, based on an ethnographic and collaborative work.

    Policy Brief: The role of Amazonian Indigenous Peoples in fighting the climate crisis
    (2022-11-01)
    Indigenous territories (ITs) in the Amazon protect approximately 24.5 GtC aboveground, act as significant barriers to deforestation and forest degradation, and serve as an important buffer against climate change. Demarcated ITs have significantly less deforestation than unrecognized lands, demonstrating the importance of demarcating ITs to both protect the livelihoods and cultures of the Amazon’s native peoples and to conserve its forests and rivers.

    La pedagogía de la Madre Tierra: una propuesta reflexiva a partir de las prácticas y testimonios del sabio indígena Abadio Green Stocel
    (National Autonomous University of Mexico, 2022-09-14)
    This article attempts a philosophical and pedagogical reflection based on an interview that the doctor in education Abadio Green Stocel, of the indigenous Gunadule people and of Panamanian-Colombian nationality, gave to the magazine Luciérnaga-Comunicación, of the Faculty of Audiovisual Communication of the Colombian Polytechnic Jaime Isaza Cadavid and the Faculty of Communication Sciences of the Autonomous University of San Luis de Potosí. The interview was published on the magazine’s YouTube page in 2015. To make a hermeneutic commentary on Dr. Green’s thought, I will begin by contextualizing this pedagogical proposal within the context of what the emergence of indigenous artists, writers, academics, and thinkers who think about modernity from ancestral knowledge means for the academic field. Then, I will quote from the mentioned interview to relate his thinking to other pedagogical conceptions of Dr. Green and to reflections by other authors that allow us to outline what we could call an “indigenous research paradigm” and a “Pedagogy of Mother Earth”. These proposals, far from being limited to the ethnic boundaries of indigenous peoples, contain an alternative message to the hegemonic one, that needs to be heard by the whole humanity.
