“…How relevant is this study beyond Chile? At a comparative level, this study advances in a similar direction to that of Herrick et al (2020), who analyze the indigenous vote in the United States. One of the most important questions about ethnic voting has precisely concerned levels of electoral turnout.…”

Abundant evidence exists of the low electoral turnout of indigenous people. Among the reasons that explain this result are the weakness of political parties in representing indigenous people, the economic circumstances of ethnic minorities, and their experiences of discrimination. In general, these findings are based on analyses of national elections, and it is unclear if they hold equally at the subnational level. This study of the Mapuche ethnic group in Chile analyzed the electoral turnout in Chile’s 345 municipalities for the national elections of 2013 and 2017 and the subnational elections of 2012 and 2016. The study found the following. First, the electoral turnout in municipalities with the highest concentration of Mapuche is above the average for subnational elections and comparable to the average for national elections. Second, the electoral turnout in these municipalities increases in those subnational elections in which candidates with Mapuche surnames compete. Third, the electoral turnout increases even more in those municipalities in which Mapuche mayoral candidates win in subnational elections.

The run-up to the 2020 election in the United States was marked by an unprecedented health pandemic and a social movement to challenge structural racism and advance social justice. Record numbers of Americans risked their health by protesting and voting in 2020. We analyze the relationship between a desire to advance social justice and Native American political behavior and political accountability utilizing data from the 2020 American Election Eve Survey’s large sample of Native American voters. We find that in 2020, both perceptions of racial discrimination and the COVID-19 health pandemic had a significant effect on Native American mobilization and political accountability. We also advance the limited research on the Native American electorate by finding that living on or very near tribal lands is a consequential factor for Native American political behavior and their pursuits for justice through political participation.

“Você Pode se Sentar Conosco, Mas Sob Nossos Termos"

Neste artigo, discuto a autodeterminação indígena em nosso continente (Abya Yala e Turtle Island) e como a maioria dos estados-nação aborda a questão do ponto de vista de "você pode sentar conosco, mas sob nossos termos". Essa posição prega a inclusão dos povos indígenas na sociedade, mas sob os padrões liberais ocidentais que são conduzidos como assimilação, característica do capitalismo neoliberal e neocolonial. Argumento que a autodeterminação indígena, com base em pensadores indígenas, decoloniais e marxistas, inclui dois elementos: o direito de exercer efetivamente a autonomia em suas comunidades, bem como a participação na tomada de decisões no estado-nação. Mostro que menos de um terço dos países do continente reconhecem formalmente a autodeterminação indígena em suas Constituições, e que a maioria dos estados-nação que a reconhecem, considera apenas um elemento da autodeterminação indígena, não ambos, com mecanismos quase inexistentes para exercê-la efetivamente por todos os grupos indígenas.
