“…An example of this is that the comunidad nativa assumed the organization of already existing Arakbut activities, such as territorial defense, the anniversary fiesta and fishing with barbasco. Killick (2021) describes the mixing of indigenous sociality and the comunidad nativa as a form of hybridity. With the rise of gold mining, activities such as barbasco fishing, which used to be performed both at the settlement and residence group levels, became restricted to the latter.…”

This article examines the role of organization into comunidades nativas (native communities) in the construction of a sense of community among Arakbut settlements of southeastern Peruvian Amazon. Based on ethnographic material, the article argues that communal activities furthered by the comunidad nativa increases social interaction among the settlements’ loosely connected and relatively dispersed kin‐based groups, forging a sense of belonging on which a broader collective identity and social bonds are built. Leasing Arakbut lands to mining settlers, however, has become a main source of internal conflict that threatens to split settlements. But rather than leading to settlement fissioning, this internal conflict encourages the Arakbut to use communal assemblies and fiestas to restore social relations and solidarity, thus strengthening the community identity. Therefore, the sense of community arises not only out of cooperative and cohesive social relations, but also out of conflictive and competitive ones.

“…Ashaninka indigenous people live mainly in Junín and Cusco, and similar to patterns throughout the Andes, have been steadily pushed off their traditional lands by highland colonists and the internal armed conflict (CVR, 2003b, p. 245;Durand Guevara, 2005, p. 106). They are the region's poorest residents, surviving by mixing farming, including small amounts of coca, with occasional wage labor and hunting and fishing (Killick, 2019). Migration by highlanders into Ashaninka-controlled territory (UNODC, 2018b, p. 79) has provoked conflict and indigenous leaders complain that they are regularly threatened by coca growers and drug traffickers (Andina, 2019;Vera, 2021).…”

“…La cultura indígena es un aspecto fundamental que los Estados tienen en cuenta para integrar a esta población. El artículo "Hybrid houses and dispersed communities: negotiating governmentality and living well in peruvian Amazonia" (Killick, 2021), examina, desde la comunidad Nativa Ashaninka, cómo los indígenas responden a las expectativas y solicitudes de estar dentro del Estado de Perú. Una estrategia para implementar es proyectar y transmitir la cultura indígena, para lograr y mantener su supervivencia en la Amazonía actual.…”

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo aportar, de forma descriptiva, a las razones por las cuales las poblaciones indígenas en América Latina no han apropiado el concepto de identidad nacional. El enfoque de investigación es cualitativo; a través de búsqueda y codificación, por medio de Bibliometrix, se realizó análisis de escritorio con más de 50 artículos indexados, reseñas y capítulos de libros. Los hallazgos muestran que la identidad, la cultura, el pasado común y la naturaleza influyen en la concepción de nación que tienen las poblaciones indígenas. Asimismo, la libre determinación de los pueblos, el escenario internacional y la educación son algunos de los factores que impulsan a las comunidades indígenas latinoamericanas a manifestarse por no sentirse incluidos en sus respectivos Estados. La investigación concluye que las poblaciones indígenas fueron excluidas en la construcción de los Estados-nación en el siglo XIX, de forma que la idea de una sola nación choca con la multiplicidad de identidades y culturas de los pueblos indígenas.
