Ethnoarchaeology and Indigenous Rights

Someone can ask: "what's ethnoarchaeology?" or "what's the relation between ethnoarchaeology and indigenous rights?". For those who born in South America or in Papua New Guinea there are a lot of bridges and connections not already established by our social sciences standards. By the way, a young generation of South American anthropologists and archaeologists from Chile, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela have had some meetings through the years in several portions of the continent asking themselves which are the connections between indigenous rights and social sciences. Moreover,  what can we effectively do in order to shrink human impacts these populations are suffering? How to transform our academic knowledge in any thing better than our well-known "intellectual inability to abandon our ethnocentrism". If you are one of those guys who feels that you should be born Yanomamo and not a Western or sub-Western (from Huntington's perspective), then I invite you to share your thoughts here. If you also believe that we have an indigenous teleological mission against mental slavery under Western or any closed total system, you are very welcome. And, believe me, fractal hegemony is also power.

This is a opened space for deep debates in Ninam, Yanomae, Sanuma, Djwarib; Shamathari, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Hungarian, Finnish, Yidish, Tzotzil, K'iche, Hebrew and what else we can afford here! Welcome to our page! Bien venidos a nuestro sitio en internet! Bem-vindos a esta pagina!!
