Rede de mulheres indígenas do Estado do Amazonas - Makira E'ta: articulação e políticas de re-existência

Abstract

This work presents the Amazonas State Indigenous Women's Network - Makira E'ta, as an organization of the indigenous women's movement designed to interconnection by women from different ethnicities and regions of the state, converging organizations, collectives and aligning common agendas, specific to the indigenous feminine context, but also to the general indigenous movement. The research, developed fundamentally from participant observation, finds that the challenge faced by Makira E'ta in carrying out the project for which it was created is directly linked to the geographic dimension and Amazonian characteristics, which makes logistics more expensive and complicates communication, but which does not prevent the use of strategies to overcome these obstacles. The connection with other indigenous organizations was fundamental in directing the resumption of the indigenous movement in the State of Amazonas and, although it has only been in existence for a few years, the ability to represent indigenous women from all regions of Amazonas gives it accreditation with funding agencies for projects with focus on the gender perspective. The writing is distributed in order to present the organization since its creation, its institutional objectives, scope of political action in the local, regional and national context, as well as diverse compositions in its organizational structure, in addition to reflecting on the possible relationship between feminism and indigenous women's organizations, concluding that this does not present a priority age.
