IPP264 Paraguay Community Development Project Indigenous Peoples Development Framework Introduction Public Disclosure Authorized 1. Indigenous Peoples (IP) in Paraguay represent only 1.7% of the total population (about 87,100) people, according to the most recent Indigenous Peoples Census (2002). Notwithstanding, IP, show a higher population growth rate (3.9%) than the average for the national population (2.7%). Therefore, it is possible to expect that the proportion of IP will continue to grow for some time, even though they will continue to be a small proportion of the total population. 2. There are 19 different ethnic groups1 belonging to five linguistic families2, being the most numerous those belonging to the Guarari linguistic family3 (46,000 or 53%), followed by the Maskoy linguistic family groups4 (21,000 or 24%). The four largest IP groups are the Ava-Guarani (13,400 or 15.5%), Mbyá (14,300 or 16.7%), Pâí Tavyterâ (13,100 or 15.2%), and the Nivacle (12,000 or 13.9%). Most indigenous peoples speak Public Disclosure Authorized their own language and have a limited command of Spanish.

Fighting With Wine: Ruin, Resistance and Renewal in a Qom Community of Northern Argentina Abstract This study examines public binge drinking among the Qom (Toba) ex-foragers of Formosa, northern Argentina. Based upon 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a peri-urban Qom barrio (Lot 84), this analysis relates binge drinking to Qom ethnohistory, community life, and interactions with the Argentine state. The public, performative nature of Qom binge drinking is explored; intoxication is shown to convey in sometimes violent public spectacle the pathos of their socioeconomic marginality, reinforce non- indigenous Argentines’ entrenched perceptions of violent “Indians”, and paradoxically provide the Qom with vehicle for continued colonial resistance. Many Qom view drinking problems as rooted in Lot 84’s close proximity to the city (Formosa) relative to more rural Qom villages. Thus they reference a continuum of health that runs from urban, non-indigenous spaces to the rural bush country where foods—including home-brewed alcohol—are healthful rather than harmful. -

Hunter-Gatherers' Self-Governance: Untying the Traditional Authority Of
The International Indigenous Policy Journal Manuscript 1237 Hunter-Gatherers’ Self-Governance: Untying the Traditional Authority of Chiefs from the Western Toba Civil Association.

Hunter-Gatherers’ Self-Governance: Untying the Traditional Authority of Chiefs from the Western Toba Civil Association. Abstract The nI tegral Law for Aborigines (426/84) was the first legal instrument in Argentina systematically addressing indigenous peoples’ rights. It was modeled on the Paraguayan Law for Indigenous Communities (901/81). Both granted collective property rights. I discuss Article 9 of Decree 574/85 in Law 426, requiring that former hunter-gatherer bands would form civil associations, like those in the non-profit es ctor. The policymakers later amended the clause on governance inserting the authority of chiefs along that of democratically elected delegates. I describe the Western Toba’s journey to obtaining collective land title by introducing characteristics of traditional leadership, discussing local antecedents leading to the law, comparing it to the Paraguayan law, and analyzing the process through which the Toba complied with legal requirements.

Tesis De Doctorado LA LENGUA AYOREO
Tesis de Doctorado LA LENGUA AYOREO (FAMILIA ZAMUCO), DE LA SINTAXIS AL DISCURSO. DOCUMENTACIÓN Y DESCRIPCIÓN DE UNA LENGUA AMENAZADA. Postulante: Lic. Santiago G. Durante Directora: Dra. Lucía A. Golluscio Área: Lingüística UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES FACULTAD DE FILOSOFIA Y LETRAS 1 Resumen La presente Tesis de Doctorado se centra en la documentación y descripción de la lengua ayoreo, perteneciente a la familia zamuco. Si bien la lengua se habla en Paraguay y Bolivia, los datos aquí presentados fueron recolectados en cinco trabajos de campo en la comunidad de Campo Loro, República del Paraguay, entre 2011 y 2016, de acuerdo con los postulados de la lingüística de la documentación. En estas visitas se recolectaron más de doscientas horas de audio y numerosas filmaciones en alta calidad. A su vez, se trabajó con más de veinte consultantes de ambos sexos y de variadas edades. El objetivo central de esta investigación es describir el funcionamiento de la combinación clausal en lengua ayoreo desde una perspectiva tipológica y funcional. El marco teórico elegido es el de la Gramática del Rol y la Referencia. Se realiza también una caracterización general de la lengua en la que se puntualiza en los temas que ayudan a la mejor comprensión del funcionamiento de las cláusulas en ayoreo. Entre las contribuciones originales de esta investigación doctoral al conocimiento de la lengua ayoreo y las lenguas de América del Sur se encuentran las siguientes: - la identificación de una estrategia de tiempo nominal - sistematización de los verbos de movimiento -

A GRAMMAR OF ENXET SUR DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MANOA¯ IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN LINGUISTICS May 2021 by John A. Elliott Dissertation Committee: Lyle Campbell, Chairperson Patience Epps Gary Holton William O’Grady Alexander Mawyer Acknowledgements Completing a project like this involves a huge amount collaboration and support, and there are many people and institutions to thank. First, I would like express my gratitude for being able to live and learn on the mokupuni of O‘ahu. My work and my life have benefited not just from the mountains and forests and waters here but also from having opportunities to learn about them from Indigenous perspectives. I would like to thank the Endangered Language Documentation Project (ELDP), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Bilinski Foundation for funding this research. Funding for research on underdocumented and endangered languages is not exactly abun- dant, and I am grateful for the support this work has received thus far. As an academic work, this dissertation has been made possible through lots of help and support from my dissertation committee and the faculty at the UH Mnoa linguis- tics department. Many thanks are in order to my advisor, Lyle Campbell, for all of the information he has shared and advice he has given me over the years, but also for his en- couragement and faith in my ability to succeed in completing a project like this. I am also grateful to the other linguists on my dissertation committee, Gary Holton and Patience Epps for their commentary and helpful, insightful suggestions on my own data and on language description in general, and especially to William O’Grady who has been of great assistance in helping me turn this description from a tool for my own understanding to something of greater use and interest to other linguists. -

The key elements of this account are the Angaité’s notions and practices on alterity, storytelling and shamanism and how they interplay with one another. I explore the notions of alterity and its counterpart similarity in the context of multiple material transactions in which the Angaité engage both among themselves and with outsiders. I also examine the inseparable socio-moral evaluations attached to such transactions. I show how certain transactions such as exchange or commoditisation do not necessarily conflict with good social relations. Nevertheless, the closest relationships – preferably evoked in kinship terms - are constantly constructed by the combination of several practices including sharing, pooling, cohabitation and companionship and the relational morality that underpins them. -
