    Burning witches: the moral dilemmas of Ashaninka leaders
    (Florida Gulf Coast University, 2021-01-01)
    This paper focuses on the moral reasoning of Ashaninka leaders about the burning of witches, a cultural practice that has received scant attention from intercultural scholars. We first contextualize burning witches as a cultural practice of the Ashaninka people. Then, based on qualitative interviews, we present the experience of six Ashaninka leaders with witchcraft and witchcraft accusations, as well as their moral reasoning about the social mechanisms that the Ashaninka people have traditionally used to control evil sorcery. The participants are three men and three women from the Ucayali and Junín regions in Peru’s Amazon basin. Finally, we discuss intercultural moral education and the need to analyze the reasons behind cultural practices in order to understand the rationality and reasonableness of others.

    Using cinema to enhance moral reasoning and cognitive complexity of Amazonian indigenous leaders
    (Routledge, 2025-01-01)
    Several research studies acknowledge the pedagogical and ethical potential of cinema, as well as its utility for moral education. With this in mind and utilizing a mixed-method approach, this paper presents the qualitative changes in cognitive complexity and moral reasoning observed in a group of Amazonian indigenous adults after their participation in an intercultural moral education program using film discussions. Participants were nine Shipibo-Konibo, Awajún and Asháninka peoples, with formal education, and familiar with cinema, from the Amazonian region of Ucayali, Peru. To assess cognitive complexity, the McDaniel and Lawrence scale was employed, while moral reasoning was evaluated using the Heinz dilemma. Qualitative content analysis revealed a development in cognitive complexity and moral reasoning among certain participants. The results are discussed with an emphasis on aspects of the program that can be replicated when working with Amazonian indigenous peoples.

    Dilemas Morales en Individuos de Tres Grupos Indígenas de la Amazonía Peruana
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2026-07-08)
    The purpose of this study was to identify moral dilemmas specific to three Amazonian indigenous cultures, highlighting the universality of the human moral experience while emphasizing that this recognition does not detract from the importance of acknowledging and appreciating our cultural diversity. Participants included four indigenous peoples – three men and one woman – from the Asháninka, Awajún, and Shipibo-Konibo indigenous groups, from the Ucayali region, in Perú. Using a qualitative methodology and taking into account the complex relationship between reason, rationality, and worldview, this study distinguishes between universal and particular elements. It presents examples of dilemmas shared by individuals from the Shipibo-Konibo, Asháninka, and Awajún Indigenous peoples, highlighting their moral concerns related to cultural issues as well as their engagement with universal moral principles.
