Este artículo revisa el proceso histórico de la ‘Conquista del desierto’ y la existencia de campos de concentración para indígenas en Argentina a través de una lectura de hermenéutica filosófica. El objetivo del artículo es interpretar el periodo y el uso de campos como instancias que configuraron la diferenciación del pueblo mapuche como sujeto racializado en la sociedad argentina. Los resultados de la exposición muestran que la marginación del cuerpo mapuche ocurre por el registro de excepciones y que aquella es disputada por sujetos mapuche.   This paper reviews the historical process of the ‘Conquest of the Desert’ and the existence of concentration camps for indigenous people in Argentina. The research is conducted through philosophical hermeneutics. The objective of the paper is to read the period and the use concentration camps as instances that shaped the differentiation of the Mapuche people as a racialized subject in Argentine society. The results of the argumentation show that marginalization of the Mapuche body occurs through the registration of exceptions, which is disputed by Mapuche subjects.

Tegria’s community is part of the U’wa indigenous people, who have inhabited the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy since the pre-Hispanic period, in the jurisdiction of the current municipality of Cubara in Boyaca (Colombia). However, this region known as Sarare has been described from anthropological, ethnohistorical, linguistical, and to a lesser extent, geographical approaches, which have generated representations of territory that ignore the historical process of indigenous people. To account for the present territoriality, it was proposed to contrast these external discourses with the community’s visions on its history of occupation and the transformations of the inhabited space, compiled through participatory methodologies that sought the collaborative construction of knowledge based on joint recognition of the place, the participant observation and the constant dialogue between indigenous and researchers. In this way, it was established that the external discourses show a territory that does not correspond to the processes of appropriation, adaptation, and reconfiguration of the space that the U’wa indigenous community has lived through and are evident in everyday settings such as the cultivation plot and the school. Therefore, it is only possible to recognize indigenous territoriality by exploring other alternatives, expressions, and perspectives that involve directly the communities and are not external to the context of the inquiry itself.

This article focuses on the problem of the demarcation of indigenous territory in Brazil, identifying the entire historical process, from colonization to the present day. Using a bibliographic search and presenting data and facts that justify all the obstacles that the indigenous people face since the arrival of the Portuguese, it was possible to identify all the problems surrounding indigenous territorial law. In addition, a descriptive research was carried out, based on a questionnaire to approximate what was presented with public opinion and to clarify the position of aborigines before society in general, today. Furthermore, the questions asked to the people, confirmed the thought that, over the years, the Indians have lost more than won, which is not only a matter of wealth, but of culture, history and legitimacy as the native people of that State. Therefore, it is clear that the evils of colonization still reflect in the lives of the indigenous people, who were formerly the “owners” of the land, today they must fight for their rights to guarantee their survival and the few demarcations that remain.

In the present essay, the author—and Mapuche, at the same time—critically analyzes the construction of the Mapuche people as a “vulnerable human group” under the International Human Rights Law and then, according to decolonial option, proposes a hypothesis: if the indigenous people are vulnerable, by definition, to claim the right to self-determination, in the Mapuche case, it is an oxymoron.

THE AMAZON OF ADRIAN COWELL: The Decade of Destruction (1980 to 1990)L´AMAZONIE SELON ADRIAN COWELL: La Decenie de la Destruction (1980 a 1990)RESUMONesse ensaio analisa-se a Amazônia revelada na obra cinematográfica de Adrian Cowell a partir de alguns elementos da série “A década da destruição”, os quais remetem ao arcabouço geográfico sobre as transformações territoriais recentes na Amazônia. Para isso, foi necessária a transcrição (decupagem) dos principais documentários da referida série para que as análises dos contextos abordados por Cowell permitissem reafirmar as estratégias e disputas envolvendo inúmeros destruidores e vítimas desse árduo processo histórico como indicado por Milanez (2013), Rios (2008) e Cowell (1990 e 2008). Trata-se, portanto, de uma leitura geográfica dos conflitos territoriais e ambientais materializados na Amazônia, envolvendo indígenas, posseiros, sem terra, seringueiros, entre outros povos e comunidades tradicionais imersos em conflitos e disputas; seja sob a égide da Ditadura ou Democracia os conflitos seguem vigentes.Palavras-chave: Amazônia; Conflitos Territoriais; Documentários; Década da Destruição.ABSTRACTIn this essay the Amazon revealed in the films of Adrian Cowell is analyzed from some elements of the series “The Decade of Destruction”, which refer to the geographic structure on recent territorial transformations in the Amazon. Thus, it was necessary to write down the main documentaries of this series, to facilitate the analyzes of the contexts covered by Cowell allowed and reaffirm the strategies and disputes involving countless destroyers and victims of this arduous historical process as indicated by Milanez (2013), Rios ( 2008) and Cowell (1990 and 2008). It is, therefore, a geographic interpretation of the territorial and environmental conflicts materialized in the Amazon, involving indigenous people, squatters, landless, rubber tappers, among other peoples and traditional communities, immersed in conflicts and disputes, whether under the aegis of the Dictatorship or Democracy conflicts are still ongoing.Keywords: Amazon; Territorial Conflicts; Documentaries; Decade of Destruction.RÉSUMÉDans cet article on analyse l´Amazonie qui apparaît dans l´œuvre cinématographique d´ Adrian Cowell. Cela est fait à partir de quelques élements de la série – La décenie de la destruction – qui renvoient au cadre géographique des transformations territoriales les plus recentes dans l´Amazonie. Il a fallu faire auparavant le decoupage des principaux documentaires de la série pour que les analyses des contextes qui apparaissent en Cowell permettaient de réafirmer les stratégies et les litiges entre les inombrables destructeurs et les victimes de ce procès historique difficil indiqué par Milanez (2013), Rios (2008) e Cowell (1990 e 2008). Il s´agit donc d´une lecture géographique des conflits territoriaux et environnementaux matérialisés dans l´Amazonie et qui concernent les indigènes, les “posseiros”, les sans-terre, les manipulateurs de caoutchouc et d´autres peuples et communautés traditionelles plongés dans des conflits et querelles, soit sous la dictature, soit sous la démocratie.Mots-clés: Amazonie; Conflits Territoriaux; Documentaires; Décenie de la Destruction.

Abstract Purpose: In this article, we describe the existing literacy research with school-age children who are indigenous. The lack of data for this group of children requires speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to use expert opinion from indigenous and non-indigenous people to develop culturally sensitive methods for fostering literacy skills. Method: We describe two available curricula developed by indigenous people that are available, which use authentic materials and embed indigenous stories into the learning environment: The Indian Reading Series and the Northwest Native American Reading Curriculum. We also discuss the importance of using cooperative learning, multisensory instruction, and increased holistic emphasis to create a more culturally sensitive implementation of services. We provide an example of a literacy-based language facilitation that was developed for an indigenous tribe in Kansas. Conclusion: SLPs can provide services to indigenous children that foster literacy skills through storytelling using authentic materials as well as activities and methods that are consistent with the client's values and beliefs.

Suicide Behavior

Background: There has been increasing attention over the last decade on the issue of indigenous youth suicide. A number of studies have documented the high prevalence of suicide behavior and mortality in Australia and internationally. However, no studies have focused on documenting the correlates of suicide behavior for indigenous youth in Australia. Aims: To examine the prevalence of suicide ideation and attempt and the associated factors for a community 1 The term ”community” refers specifically to Koori people affiliated with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service. cohort of Koori 2 The term ”Koori” refers to indigenous people from the south-eastern region of Australia, including Melbourne. The term ”Aboriginal” has been used when referring to indigenous people from Australia. The term ”indigenous” has been used throughout this article when referring to the first people of a nation within an international context. (Aboriginal) youth. Method: Data were obtained from the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) Young People’s Project (YPP), a community initiated cross-sectional data set. In 1997/1998, self-reported data were collected for 172 Koori youth aged 12–26 years living in Melbourne, Australia. The data were analyzed to assess the prevalence of current suicide ideation and lifetime suicide attempt. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to identify closely associated social, emotional, behavioral, and cultural variables at baseline and Cox regression modeling was then used to identify associations between PCA components and suicide ideation and attempt. Results: Ideation and attempt were reported at 23.3% and 24.4%, respectively. PCA yielded five components: (1) emotional distress, (2) social distress A, (3) social distress B, (4) cultural connection, (5) behavioral. All were positively and independently associated with suicide ideation and attempt, while cultural connection showed a negative association. Conclusions: Suicide ideation and attempt were common in this cross-section of indigenous youth with an unfavorable profile for the emotional, social, cultural, and behavioral factors.
