WWe find that the size of the indigenous population varies dramatically de- pending on the measure of indigeneity used, and that using multiple measures captures distinct modes of indigeneity. Using latent class analysis, we find that contemporary indigenous classification clusters around four types, which we characterize as Traditional Indians, Indigenous Mestizos, New Indians, and Non-Indigenous. Traditional Indians tend to be indigenous on virtually all indicators, and they are especially poor, dark, and rural. Indigenous Mestizos tend to speak an indigenous language, but self- identification as indigenous is tenuous. New Indians assert an indigenous identity despite their frequent lack of linguistic knowledge and close indigenous ancestry, and they are as urban, educated, and light-skinned as the Non-Indigenous. The analysis ad- dresses sociological concepts of ethnic boundaries, assimilation, mestizaje, and symbolic ethnicity and discusses the implications of distinct modes of indigenous ethnicity. .................................................................................................................. Although ethnic boundaries are fluid in the real world, states strictly define eth- nic groups through their censuses on the basis of one or two questions. By creat- ing ethnic categories, such as indigenous, states estimate its population composition but also shape representations of the nation and its identity (Loveman 2014; Wimmer 2013). -

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown. -

Selected Writings Found in the Bahá'í Faith on Indians
LB: Updatd November 2018 CHAPTER 1 - WRITINGS IN THE BAHÁ’Í AUTHORITATIVE TEXTS AND TEXTS BY THE HANDS OF THE CAUSE ON INDIANS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE I. Purpose of the Coming of Bahá’u’lláh Indeed, the purpose of the coming of Bahá’u’lláh is to lift the yoke of oppression from His loved ones, to liberate all the people of the world, and to provide the means for their abiding happiness. In this regard, the Tablets of the Divine Plan addressed by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá to North America make it clear that the destiny of the Native Americans as an illumined and fulfilled peo- ple is linked to the quality of their response to the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh. (Letter dated 12 February 2002, written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, http://bahai-library.com/ uhj_indian_nations) II. Capacity of American Indians to Comprehend the Faith The understanding of His words and the comprehension of the utterances of the Birds of Heaven are in no wise dependent upon human learning. They depend solely upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit. This is evidenced by those who, today, though without a single letter of the accepted standards of learning, are occupying the loftiest seats of knowledge; and the garden of their hearts is adorned, through the showers of divine grace, with the roses of wisdom and the tulips of understanding. Well is it with the sincere in heart for their share of the light of a mighty Day! (Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqan, p. -

Descriptive and Comparative Research on South American Indian Languages
Historical overview: Descriptive and comparative research on South American Indian languages Willem F. H. Adelaar 1. Introduction The extreme language diversity that was characteristic for South America must have been a challenge to native groups throughout the subcontinent, struggling to maintain commercial and political relations with each other. Due to the absence of phonetically based writing systems in pre-European times there is hardly any documentation about the way cross-linguistic communication was achieved. How- ever, the outlines of a conscious linguistic policy can be assumed from the Incas’ success in imposing their language upon a millenary multilingual society. Second- language learning, often by users of typologically widely different languages, must have been an everyday concern to the subjects of the Inca empire. Sixteenth-cen- tury chroniclers often report in a matter-of-fact way on the ease and rapidity with which native Americans mastered the language of their conquerors, be it Quechua, Spanish or any other language. Apart from such cases of political necessity, there are indications that language played an essential role in many South American native societies and that it could be manipulated and modified in a deliberate way. The use of stylistic speech levels among the Cuna (Sherzer 1983) and of ceremo- nial discourse among the Mbyá (Cadogan 1959; Clastres 1974), the Shuar (Gnerre 1986) and the Trio (Carlin 2004), the appreciation of rhetorical skill as a requisite for leadership among the Mapuche, the distinction of female and masculine speech among the Karajá (Rodrigues 2004) and the Chiquitano (Galeote 1993), the associ- ation of language choice and family lineage among the peoples of the Vaupés region (Sorensen 1967; Aikhenvald 2002), and the association of language choice and professional occupation in highland Bolivia (Howard 1995) appear to indicate an awareness of linguistic functionality not limited to daily communication alone. -

NOT ALL IN ONE RHYTHM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIA DISCOURSE AGAINST THE INDIGENOUS RE-EXISTENCE OF THE MARAKÁ’NÀ VILLAGE IN KÛÁNÃPARÁ by Alexandre Cursino A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Alexandre Cursino 2016 NOT ALL IN ONE RHYTHM: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE MEDIA DISCOURSE AGAINST THE INDIGENOUS RE-EXISTENCE OF THE MARAKÁ’NÀ VILLAGE IN KÛÁNÃPARÁ Master of Arts 2016 Alexandre Cursino Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education University of Toronto Abstract Indigenous people created the re-existence known as Maraká’nà village, by re-occupying the sacred territory of a building in Kûánãpará (Rio de Janeiro) located next to the popular Maracanã stadium. The village became a meeting place for re-existences that encompass issues of Indigenous sovereignty, sacred land right, spirituality practices, decolonizing education, and the creation of the first Intercultural Indigenous University in Pindorama. It challenged the economic and social impacts of the neoliberal sports mega-events, which raised tensions during the organization of sports mega-events. These tensions were amplified through media discourse, by perpetuating violent treatment of Indigenous peoples, and naturalizing the dominant elite. Employing a transdisciplinary methodology that combines Critical Discourse Analysis and Critical Political Economy, this study examines the media discourse that obstructs the Indigenous re-existence of Maraká’nà by favoring capitalist structures. Despite demonstrating unbalanced power relations, the findings show unbalanced power relations Maraká'nà and media discourses. -
The Indians in Inca Garcilaso's Historia General Del Perú
“Los trataban como a hijos”: The Indians in Inca Garcilaso's Historia general del Perú SUSAN ISABEL STEIN Texas Tech University El Inca respondió: “Perro traidor, [....] ¿Nos sabes que tú y todo tu linaje érades nuestros esclavos [...]? (Garcilaso VIII.I 187)1 Juan Bautista Avalle-Arce presented a paper at the 1996 Encuentro Internacional de Peruanistas de la Universidad de Lima entitled “Perfil ideológico del Inca Garcilaso” (originally written in 1964). The author identifies the guiding principles which, he claims, inform Garcilaso’s historical texts (La Florida and both parts of the Comentarios reales): historiography as a program of political action, Messianic providentialism as the motor of Spanish imperialism, the historian’s moral responsibility to protect the honor and reputation of other men and the “fundamental uniformidad psicológica del hombre” (289). Quiero destacar un último aspecto de La Florida [...] que forma infragmentable unidad ideológica con los Comentarios reales [....,] y que se puede resumir en la frase ponderativa que el Inca pone en boca de Hernando de Soto al hacerle exclamar: “¿No miráis cómo todo el mundo es uno?” (289) Avalle Arce refers to this latter concept as “un supuesto ideológico en ninguna ocasión analizado en forma explícita por el autor pero que alienta y fundamenta [....] las raíces de 1 Roman numerals refer to the book and chapter of the Historia general. “Los trataban como a hijos” A contracorriente su pensamiento historiográfico” (289); thus, while on the one hand he characterizes Garcilaso’s ideology as consciously-elaborated, transparent principles expressing the fundamental truths of Garcilaso’s historical project, on the other hand his metaphor more aptly suggests that some principles are not really as transparent as they seem. -
