Por el curso de las quebradas hacia el ‘territorio integral indígena’: autonomía, frontera y alianza entre los awajún y wampis
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2014-07-17) Garra, Simone; Riol Gala, Raúl
In the framework of the self-determination process of ‘indigenous integral territories’ led by the Coordinadora Regional de los Pueblos Indígenas (CORPI), the Awajún and Wampis organizations have been defining their territories in a series of intra- and inter-ethnic meetings, objectifying their relationship with their respective geographic areas. In this sense, such process of indigenous autonomization interacts with State models and political institutions. In this paper,on the basis of our participation in anthropological reports to support the demand for recognition of ‘integral territories’, we try todescribe and analyze the dynamics of local autonomy, supra-local alliances and inter-ethnic borders among the Awajún and Wampis and how such dynamics have mobilized them facing the increasing pressure by the national society and global capitalism.

Entre discurso político y fuerza espiritual. Fundación de las organizaciones indígenas awajún y wampis (1977-1979)
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2014-07-17) Romio, Silvia
The present article proposes an ethno-political analisis of the conceptof indigenous organization. The Huambisa Aguaruna Council(HAC) was the first Awajun and Wambis indigenous organization,which at the end of the seventies achieved to be the representant of almost all of the rivers in the Condorcanqui district (Amazonas region). This study seeks to understand how this first phase of construction of indigenous organization was characterized by the definition of a new form of leadership, in which a new generation of indigenous leaders showed great ability in negotiating concepts of ancestral life with new abilities and ideas learned through the interaction with the outside world. As such this new generation could be a bridge in between the expectations of the native communities and the imposed demands by Peruvian institutions.

¿Con o sin ancestros? Vigencia de lo ancestral en la Amazonía peruana
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2014-07-17) Mouriès, Thomas
The existence —or not— of the concept of ancestors in the indigenous Amazon has been the subject of much debate. However, regional leaders do not hesitate to call upon ‘ancestral’ knowledge, customs, or territories in the sense that, from an academic point of view, could appear enigmatic. «Ancestral, but… with or without ancestors?» is the question a confused anthropologist might ask. In this article, I propose to offer elements of a response to this question,based on a case study in Peru. First I analyze how Amazonian indigenous leaders, following international law, have adopted the legal notion of ‘ancestral possession’ of their territory to adapt it to the political sphere. This approach accounts for the recent generalization and uniformization of the term ‘ancestral’, but poses the problem of how it articulates with the indigenous cosmologies that it supposes to reflect. For this reason, I explore in the second section the pertinence of the category of ‘ancestor’ in the indigenous Amazon, briefly drawing upon the academic debate in order to define inwhat way this category takes on meaning. Based on testimony from an experienced Awajún leader, we thus return in the third section more explicitly to the different meanings and planes of reference that unfold when one uses the term ‘ancestral’, showing how Amazonian indigenous people not only adopt external conceptual elements and arguments, but also transform them based on their own cosmological singularities and political perspectives.
