Con el auspicio del legislador Eduardo Nayap Kinin, se presentó en el Congreso «La historia jamás contada sobre la época del caucho», libro que recoge el testimonio del indígena Mario Coregoitsi (rebautizado como Ramiro Rojas Paredes) de la tribu Huitoto Murui. Alex Acuña, nieto de Coregoitsi , es la persona que interpretó las narraciones de su abuelo que murió el 2008 a la edad de 96 años, pero que antes contó fielmente la historia del pueblo Huitoto a su hija y nietos, sobre la explotación de su pueblo por los patrones caucheros.
Indigenous Peoples are leading some of the most important struggles of our time. They're confronting the destructive practices of the mining, logging, oil, nuclear, coal and hydro industries. They're preventing biotech firms from contaminating our food supply and agribusiness firms from privatizing our water. And that's not even the half of it. Out of pure …
In recent years, the popular tourist attraction of Semuc Champey in the Guatemalan department of Alta Verapaz has become a point of social conflict for the indigenous Q’eqchi’ Mayan communities surrounding the site. On February 8, tensions erupted and led to the occupation of the municipality building of Lanquín by over 200 members of the communities near the tourist attraction. Community members demanded the recuperation of the site. Since that day, residents have maintained management of the park.
The village of Tamaquito lies in the forests of Colombia. Here, nature provides the people with everything they need. But the Wayúu community’s way of life is being destroyed by the vast and rapidly growing El Cerrejón coal mine. Determined to save his community from forced displacement, young and charismatic leader Jairo Fuentes sets out to negotiate with the mine’s operators. They’re backed by powerful global resources companies such as Glencore, Anglo American and BHP Billiton, and communicating with their representatives isn’t easy. The villagers are promised the blessings of progress, but the Wayúu place no value on modern, electrified houses – on the so-called better life. Instead, they embark on a fight to save their life in the forest, which soon becomes a fight to survive.

During the twentieth century, Amazonia was widely regarded as relatively pristine nature, little impacted by human history. This view remains popular despite mounting evidence of substantial human influence over millennial scales across the region. Here, we review the evidence of an anthropogenic Amazonia in response to claims of sparse populations across broad portions of the region. Amazonia was a major centre of crop domestication, with at least 83 native species containing populations domesticated to some degree. Plant domestication occurs in domesticated landscapes, including highly modified Amazonian dark earths (ADEs) associated with large settled populations and that may cover greater than 0.1% of the region. Populations and food production expanded rapidly within land management systems in the mid-Holocene, and complex societies expanded in resource-rich areas creating domesticated landscapes with profound impacts on local and regional ecology. ADE food production projections support estimates of at least eight million people in 1492. By this time, highly diverse regional systems had developed across Amazonia where subsistence resources were created with plant and landscape domestication, including earthworks. This review argues that the Amazonian anthrome was no less socio-culturally diverse or populous than other tropical forested areas of the world prior to European conquest.

Over the next period, we will be curating a Cognitive Liberty hashtag campaign, offering a selection of images and stories in support of the entheogenic coming-out process. This already challenging process is made even more difficult by decades of politics and legal policy, demonizing the identity of those who partake in psychedelic/entheogenic experiences. We hope this campaign will provide some tools for you in that next uncomfortable conversation.
