  • Languages of the Middle Andes in Areal-Typological Perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran
    Languages of the Middle Andes in areal-typological perspective: Emphasis on Quechuan and Aymaran Willem F.H. Adelaar 1. Introduction1 Among the indigenous languages of the Andean region of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile and northern Argentina, Quechuan and Aymaran have traditionally occupied a dominant position. Both Quechuan and Aymaran are language families of several million speakers each. Quechuan consists of a conglomerate of geo- graphically defined varieties, traditionally referred to as Quechua “dialects”, not- withstanding the fact that mutual intelligibility is often lacking. Present-day Ayma- ran consists of two distinct languages that are not normally referred to as “dialects”. The absence of a demonstrable genetic relationship between the Quechuan and Aymaran language families, accompanied by a lack of recognizable external gen- etic connections, suggests a long period of independent development, which may hark back to a period of incipient subsistence agriculture roughly dated between 8000 and 5000 BP (Torero 2002: 123–124), long before the Andean civilization at- tained its highest stages of complexity. Quechuan and Aymaran feature a great amount of detailed structural, phono- logical and lexical similarities and thus exemplify one of the most intriguing and intense cases of language contact to be found in the entire world. Often treated as a product of long-term convergence, the similarities between the Quechuan and Ay- maran families can best be understood as the result of an intense period of social and cultural intertwinement, which must have pre-dated the stage of the proto-lan- guages and was in turn followed by a protracted process of incidental and locally confined diffusion.

Miyake [FNdl1 Copyright © 2002 by Asian Law Journal, Inc.; Lika C. Miyake The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II has been well discussed by scholars, but few remember or even know about the internment of Japanese Peruvians in the U.S. This note examines the history of the Japanese Peruvian internment, focusing on the U.S. government's legal justification for the program and the unjust treatment of the Japanese Peruvians under the U.S. immigration system after the conclusion of the war. The author considers U.S. legal and constitutional theories and cases relevant to the Japanese Peruvian internment and highlights the vulnerability of non-citizens in the U.S. during wartime. In conclusion, the author argues that the U.S. government should grant Japanese Latin Americans reparations equal to that awarded to Japanese Americans. Furthermore, the U.S. government should acknowledge the responsibility to avoid race or nationality-based bias, whether in crafting domestic policy or acting in foreign affairs. INTRODUCTION In no other wartime instance in United States (U.S.) history has the abrogation of individual liberties been more glaring than in the incarceration of ethnic Japanese during World War II. Under the guise of "military necessity," [FNll racist politicians and opportunistic businessmen succeeded in pressuring the U.S. government to remove the Japanese population from the U.S.'s west coast.

  • Unraveling the Mystery of the Origin of Ayahuasca by Gayle Highpine1
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________www.neip.info Unraveling the Mystery of the Origin of Ayahuasca by Gayle Highpine1 ABSTRACT For decades, researchers have puzzled over the mystery of the origin of Ayahuasca, especially the question of how the synergy was discovered between the the two components of the brew: the vine (Banisteriopsis caapi) with a monoamine oxidase inhibiting (MAOI) action and the leaf (Psychotria viridis or Diplopterys cabrerana), which requires that MAOI action to make their dimethyltryptamine (DMT) orally active. Drawing from two years of fieldwork among Napo Runa Indian shamans, cross-dialect studies of Quechua, and the record of anthropological data, I contend that the botanical origin of B. caapi was on the Napo River; that the original form of Ayahuasca shamanism employed the vine Banisteriopsis caapi alone; that the shamanic use of Banisteriopsis caapi alone spread and diffused before the DMT-containing admixtures were discovered; that the synergy between B. caapi and Psychotria viridis was discovered in the region of present-day Iquitos, the synergy between B. caapi and Diplopterys cabrerana was discovered around the upper Putumayo River, and that each combination diffused from there; and that the discoveries of these synergies came about because of the traditional practice of mixing other medicinal plants with Ayahuasca brew. Among the Napo Runa, the Ayahuasca vine is considered “the mother of all plants” and a mediator and translator between the human and plant worlds, helping humans and plants to communicate with each other. 1 The author has a BA in Applied Linguistics and an MA in Educational Policy, Foundations, and Administration from Portland State University.

  • Witness to Sovereignty. Essays on the Indian Movement in Latin America
    1 WITNESS TO SOVEREIGNTY. ESSAYS ON THE INDIAN MOVEMENT IN LATIN AMERICA . Manuscript submitted for publication to The University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, Oklahoma. December, 2003 Introduction in the Guise of a Story The Journey This book has the shape of a spiral. In it I visit, circle, revisit, and intertwine themes and issues related to the centuries -long struggle of the indigenous peoples of Latin America to survive, retain their independence, gain autonomy, and achieve higher levels of ethnic sovereignty. The writings travel a spiral path in time and places that bega n more than four decades ago in Peru where I had landed as a young immigrant following the footpath of my Italian father. There, in the northern Sechura desert, in the Central Andes, and later in the jungle valley of the Huallaga river in the company of my father, I literally discovered the awesome and startling beauty of the cultural “other”: the Indians. The incipient fascination and intrigue for indigenous exoticism did not last too long, however. It came to a sudden halt during a trip to an hacienda owned by the Church in the southern Andean region of Cusco. Poverty, hunger, exploitation, humiliation, oppression, and discrimination became soon the indelible signs of being an Indian in Peru. To the initial stage of seduction by illusory Indian exoticis m belongs my first published article describing indigenous back -strap looms (Varese 1963 -64), followed by a booklet for high -school students on the life and scientific travels in Peru of the nineteenth century Italian naturalist Antonio Raimondi (Varese 1965).

  • From the Hero's Bones: Three Aguaruna Hallucinogens and Their Uses
    FROM THE HERO'S BONES: THREE AGUARUNA HALLUCINOGENS AND THEIR USES Michael F. Brown University of Michigan The jivaroan tribes of Ecuador and Peru have, since their first contact with Europeans, attracted attention for their bellicosity and unwillingness to accept foreign domination. Later research, most notably the work of Michael J. Harner among the untsuri shuar or Jivaro proper of Ecuador, has given us an appreciation of J ivaroan peoples' intensely religious view of the world. In j ivaroan thought, the normally invisible world of spirits parallels the visible world in that both are populated by beings which can be hostile or friendly. To insure individual prosperity, and even one's very survival, it is necessary to gain access to the spiritual world through the use of hallucinogenic plants. In the present article, I wish to describe the varied uses of three hallu- cinogens which are cultivated by the Aguaruna jfvaro of the Upper Mayo River, Peru. These three plants, all of which are apparently members of the solanaceous genus Datura (some species of which are now classified as Brugmansia by some taxonomists), form a discrete unit in Aguaruna thought, yet they are attributed widely varying and even contradictory properties. By examining the wealth of detail surrounding the mythical origin, ethno- taxonomy, and uses of these species, which in themselves form only a seg- ment of the inventory of hallucinogens known to the Aguaruna, I hope to draw attention to some general principles regarding the relationship between men and hallucinogenic plants in the Aguaruna scheme of things, as well as provide an example of the fine distinctions which a native people can make between varieties of culturally important plants.
