Alan García Pérez, President of Peru ... Still

Quoted: "Errota absurd ideology, pantheist, [...] back to those primitive forms of religion where it says" Do not touch that hill because it is an Apu, is filled with the ancient spirit "and who knows what else right? Well, if comes to that, then do nothing, or mining.

"No, I do not touch me this area is a sanctuary." I wonder, why Sanctuary, right? [...] And let you know that those who now live are nurtured, and working with investment in these hills.

(Alan Garcia Perez, President of Peru ... yet). "

I think that shortly after finishing his term, someone should lock and muzzle Alan García: say no more, not otherwise decided, each new word, or act as foreman confirmed by the National Society of Petroleum and Mining, and as a leader and thought as cave guide of Facebook. It goes without saying that his prose is as absurd and tasteless as the Christ of the Pacific. But this new stream of nonsense is not a mere folly: hides a very democratic country project, and therefore deserves some lines of analysis.

Garcia expressions seem to me the point of closure of a government for the indiscriminate exploitation of extractive industries and clearly against a good law prior consultation for indigenous peoples. The President seeks to ridicule the native mind doing a presentation misrepresented and children, part of an evolutionary view of the world according to which the indigenous way of understanding is primitive and how Garcia is the peak of human development. Far from being a cold fact of reality, his views are the product of a particular way of understanding the world that is necessary to examine.

To summarize very tight, we could say that our worldview believes that man has evolved to develop a diversity of cultures, separated from the original natural state. The man would be a knower and an inert object nature of the man away to learn better. Native American Worldviews and other parts of the world, although diverse, tend to agree on a contrary view: original humanity would have been to diversify, taking different natural forms, which allow a particular way. The human world would be populated with intent to have taken the form of animals, plants and weather: The only way to know is to understand things from another point of view, determined by the particular embodiment that has assumed, and not separate from a course object.

Garcia expressions seem to me the point of closure of a government for the indiscriminate exploitation of extractive industries and clearly against a good law prior consultation for indigenous peoples.

Contrary to our view of multiculturalism, indigenous vision multinaturalism. So cool, I must say that if the truth is that which conforms to reality, I do not find in any of these interpretations more true than in the other. Even more: I must say that, as a method of knowledge, cutting edge indigenous epistemology. But the truth is that even with the above, indigenous and non indigenous people have in common the ability to understand and respect each other, and probably that's why no Indian would think lotizar and the Cathedral of Lima concession.

Consider, from the above it, the ratio of indigenous to the territory. When it recognizes a right over land or territory which is recognized is some kind of relationship with the good. For example, the territory is for indigenous resource and life, but these resources are themselves intentional beings and not inanimate objects on which to establish property rights. In a sense, each of the beings that populate the universe has certain rights over others, in some cases there are shared rights on the same space, and several other rights. This complex view of the world does not correspond to the reason for Garcia, for whom the hill is only one object. This is not the place to spread out, but it should be noted that it is well documented how the type of relationship with the environment of the native harvesting practices led to more balanced and less wasteful.

Surely, following De Soto, the other element of this tandem-, I will say that I have drawn the Indian is no more, now all the natives are embedded in the market, professing evangelical religions, involved in politics, selling their land . This theory was known in anthropology as acculturation, and we now know without doubt that the world does not work. What actually happens in the cultural contact that people articulate various references, sometimes in harmony, sometimes in contradiction, recreating new ways of being, forgetting some things, learning new ones and combining so often unbalanced. To say that outright, it absorbs the other culture is ridiculous, as you can account for everyone who has a cousin living in Kendall Peru.

Bagua is partly proof that I have given the world view has not been absorbed by the rationalism of mercantilism. As rightly pointed out the minority report of the Special Commission to Investigate and analyze the events of Bagua, one of the motivations that led the communities to mobilize Awajún Wampis and was cut Ichigkat Muja National Park in 2007. In the book The Other Man, ODECOFROC (Organization of the Cenepa Border Communities) has described how to create the park is a patient and required extensive work to find matches with INRENA. One was that the area was to delimit was historically considered as a reserve by Indians, for the space integrated as Kumpanam hill, home to five Tijai or owners of the hills that look after water, clouds, animals and plants. But this coincidence with the scientific criteria of INRENA not worth anything and then the park was cut in favor of mining, with the results we already know. I bring up this example because there is nothing casual that he wondered "what is a sanctuary?" just having the National Shrine of Magantoni constantly threatened by new proposals for hydroelectric plants and the laying of the pipeline from Camisea.

Judge for yourself who is the original. For me, Garcia is a threat, an elephant loose in glassware in just a few sentences intended to lie down for a sanctuary, the conservationist ideology, cultural and religious diversity of the country, international law and the Constitution of Peru, and do not want to imagine the what he can in the days that remain for us to suffer.
