| Resumo: | This article analyzes the cultural meanings of the indigenous uprising of 2001 in Upper Napo as a means to investigating indigenous historicity. Although there are various publications about the 2001 uprising, no one has looked at these events from the perspective of Kichwa historicity. The argument is that Amazonian Kichwa speakers structure and produce history through a conceptual complex of substance circulation (samai) that links social actors with primordial time-space. Using a historical testimony about Jumandy, the paper shows how the symbolic complex of Kichwa language-culture allows people to create links of substance and power with mythohistoric beings. |
