  • Ecuador's Awá Win Nullification of Land Measure
    Ecuador's Awá Win Nullification of Land Measure JULY 2007 Ecuador's Awá win nullification of land measure Quito, Ecuador Traveling some stretches on foot and others by bus, more than 500 members of Ecuador's Awá indigenous community trekked this month from their villages near the country's northern border with Colombia to this high-altitude capital, spears symbolically in hand. Their objective was to protest a recent government land-management measure that the Awá claim would give timber and oil-palm plantation operators access to a portion of their territory in coastal Esmeraldas province, jeopardizing their internationally recognized efforts to practice sustainable forestry there. On July 11-two days after the Awá arrived in Quito-Environment Minister Ana Albán produced what they wanted: nullification of the land-management measure. The government also pledged to review the status of a 14,800-acre (6,000-ha) area of land in Carchi province that was removed from the Awá territory last year. Precipitating this month's protest was a January Environment Ministry order that the Awá and the local Afro-Ecuadorian community must jointly manage 43,226 acres (17,493 has) in Ricaurte- Tululbí parish, which is part of Esmeraldas province's canton of San Lorenzo. Albán signed the order after Afro-Ecuadorians, whose roots reach back to the Spanish colonial era, argued they have valid historical claims to the area. The Awá complained the move nixed government decisions making the Ricaurte-Tululbí land part of the tribe's officially recognized 245,467-acre (99,337-ha) territory, which stretches from mountainous Imbabura and Carchi provinces to the Pacific Coast province of Esmeraldas.

  • Articulating Blackness in Afro-Ecuadorian Marimba Performance
    Articulating Blackness in Afro-Ecuadorian Marimba Performance Paper presented at the conference: Musical Cultures of the World: Global Effects, Past and Present May 28-30, 1999. UCLA Department of Ethnomusicology by Jonathan Ritter For nearly four and a half centuries, Afro-Ecuadorians of the coastal Esmeraldas province have identified themselves as a distinct people, their distinctiveness arising in a cultural "space" bounded by racial, ethnic, political, artistic, musical, and at times, geographic boundaries. As a consequence, "black space" in Ecuador has always been the site of contestation, primarily by the challenge it presented to Spanish and later nationalist mestizo hegemony, but also through an uneasy distanciation from its own hybrid Afro- Indigenous cultural roots. Music, in the form of the marimba dance, has played an important role in the creation and maintenance of this space, delineating a sonic sphere apart from other ethnic groups and in particular separate from the highland state. In this article, I seek to historicize the perception of black space in the Ecuadorian national consciousness, and explore how that space is being reconfigured today through musical performance. I have titled this article "Articulating Blackness" and will begin by calling attention to that choice of words. The first term, to articulate, meaning in its common usage "to enunciate clearly and distinctly," implies a type of separation understood within a whole a carving out of parts that reveals the sound of their differences. But I draw "articulate" also from the Latin articulare , meaning "to unite by or form a joint" (American Heritage Dictionary), a coming together and joining of two planes, and thus indicating a type of simultaneity.

  • Exploring Conservation: Piquigua, Heteropsis Ecuadorensis, in Ecuador
    Papers of the Applied Geography Conferences (2008) 31: 310-318 Resource Stewardship: Rain Forest Use among Three Ethnic Groups of Ecuador Maria Fadiman Department of Geosciences Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL 33431 1. INTRODUCTION How to incorporate the people who live within a reserve while achieving conservation goals is a challenge with which governments and conservationists are working throughout Latin America and the world (Southgate 1998). This question is particularly pressing in The Mache-Chindul Ecological Reserve in northwestern Ecuador (Figure 1). This area encompasses land considered to be part of one of the global hot spots of biodiversity (Dodson and Gentry, 1991). These western forests have high degrees of endemism, and only about 5% of this kind of forest remains in Ecuador (Neill, 2006). Additionally, since numerous people live in and around this area, the indigenous Chachi, mestizos, and Afro-Ecuadorians, successful protection with sustainable resource use by its residents is the aim of both development and conservation organizations (Aguirre et al., 2000). Conservationists and developers are looking at Non-timber forest products (NTFP) as a possible option for sustainable forest use (Coomes, 2004). However, in looking at alternative forest use, it is imperative that the sustainability of these “alternatives” is addressed. The two plant resources on which this study focuses, a palm and a hemi-epiphyte (a vine-like plant that germinates in the ground, grows up a tree, and then sends down aerial roots), can be harvested in such a way that the plant continues to grow after harvested parts have been removed. Thus, these two plants are potentially sustainable resources.

  • Rights-Based Approaches in Ecuador's Fishery for Mangrove
    Rights-based Approaches in Ecuador’s Fishery for Mangrove Cockles Christine M. Beitl, Nikita Gaibor Department of Anthropology, University of Maine, USA Office of Technical & Scientific Sub direction, Instituto Nacional de Pesca, Letamendi y La Ria, Guayaquil, Ecuador Abstract The fishery for ark clams or mangrove cockles (Anadara tuberculosa and A. similis) has been culturally and economically important in communities that depend on mangrove forests throughout the Pacific coast of Latin America since pre-Columbian times. In Ecuador, more than 3 000 artisanal fishermen manually harvest bivalve molluscs of the genus Anadara. However, this fishery has been vulnerable to harvesting pressures and habitat destruction. For almost three decades, researchers and international organizations have increasingly recognized the value of Territorial Use Rights in Fisheries (TURFs) as a tool for achieving marine conservation and socially equitable outcomes in fisheries management. Since 2000, the Ecuadorian government began granting mangrove concessions to local fishing associations to promote mangrove conservation and sustainable use in fisheries. Many of those fishing associations designed management plans for benthic resources (such as cockles and crabs) similar to TURF arrangements in other parts of the world. This paper explores how these institutional arrangements contribute to the goals of sustainability with particular attention to challenges and tradeoffs. The mangrove concessions have created conditions that promote habitat health necessary for fishery productivity while strengthening resource rights, enabling communities to pursue sustainable fishing-based livelihoods for present and future generations. On the other hand, the creation of exclusive access rights for particular user groups has also exacerbated tensions among independent cockle gatherers that feel they are increasingly losing access to their customary fishing grounds.
