Política pública y la tenencia de la tierra en las comunidades indígenas en la cuenca alta de la Amazoníacentral, Provincias de Napo y Pastaza

Abstract

Abstract: There are several communities of the KichwaNationality of the Province of Napo and Pastaza that are demanding the adjudication and legalization of their ancestral territories; In this research, these conflicts over land tenure are addressed from an ethnohistorical and socioeconomic reading to understand the ontology of the problem, as well as the regulations such as public policies and laws adopted by the state, fundamentally for the Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities and how these have modified the inequity in the access and possession of the land in the Upper Basin of the Central Amazon of the Provinces of Napo and Pastaza. Thus we were able to notice that the main problems of the possession of the ancestral territory is with settlers with 46% followed by 21% with protected areas, 14% with companies, 11% with universities, while 4% with religious missions and with local governments, and that this demand for access to ancestral territories is still in force in the discourse around the land problem in Ecuador, that CONAIE and its bases and other social organizations have been demanding from the government.
