Résumé documentaire — langue originale
The glitter of gold can it really justify the destruction of vital ecosystems and the suffering of the communities that depend on them for survival? This study investigates how Indigenous women of the Amazon, particularly in the riverside communities along the Napo River, resist gold mining by defending their territories and applying ancestral knowledge to mitigate the socio-environmental impacts exacerbated by the climate crisis. In recent decades, gold mining has expanded significantly in the region, driven by neoliberal policies of the Ecuadorian government, which has promoted extractivism as a strategy to diversify the national economy. This shift has resulted in the invasion of Indigenous lands and a rise in environmental, social, and cultural conflicts across the area. Although there is literature addressing the impacts of extractivism, there remains a notable gap in anthropological research exploring how Indigenous communities and local collectives in the Napo region collaborate to defend their territories and uphold the rights of nature particularly regarding their joint role in exposing mining-related harms, fostering community mobilisation, and producing shared knowledge. This dissertation aims to help fill this gap by showing how the articulation between Indigenous communities and local collectives strengthens their capacity for response, creating more deeply rooted forms of resistance and reexistence in their territories. The research draws on a hybrid ethnographic methodology that combines document analysis and online materials with anthropological fieldwork and digital ethnography, including interviews and interactions with Indigenous leaders and other local actors. The main objective is to contribute to the development of a critical anthropological perspective on the effects of mining in the Amazon, focusing on the practices of resistance and reexistence of Indigenous communities, highlighting their ancestral knowledge, and reflecting on possible pathways for preserving their territories and the Amazonian biodiversity. O brilho do ouro pode realmente justificar a destruição de ecossistemas essenciais e o sofrimento das comunidades que dele dependem para a sua sobrevivência? Este estudo investiga como as mulheres indígenas da Amazónia, especialmente nas comunidades ribeirinhas do rio Napo, resistem à mineração de ouro, protegendo seus territórios e aplicando saberes ancestrais para atenuar os impactos socioambientais exacerbados pela crise climática. Nas últimas décadas, a mineração de ouro se expandiu significativamente na região, impulsionada por políticas neoliberais do governo equatoriano que têm incentivado o extrativismo como estratégia para diversificar a economia. Essa mudança resultou na invasão de terras indígenas e conflictos ambientais, sociais e culturais na região. Apesar de existir literatura sobre os impactos do extrativismo, são ainda escassos os estudos antropológicos que exploram a articulação entre comunidades indígenas e coletivos locais de defensa do territòrio e os direitos da natureza do Napo, especialmente no que diz respeito ao seu papel conjunto na exposiñçao das afetañçoes da atividade mobilização comunitária e produção partilhada de conhecimentos. Esta dissertação pretende preencher esta lacuna, mostrando como a articulação entre comunidades indígenas e coletivos locais fortalece a sua capacidade de resposta, criando alternativas de resistência e reexistência mais enraizadas no território. Este trabalho faz uso de uma metodologia etnográfica híbrida que combina análise de documentos e materiais online com trabalho de campo antropológico e etnografia digital, incluindo entrevistas e interações com líderes indígenas e outros atores locais. O principal objetivo é contribuir para o desenvolvimento de uma perspectiva antropológica crítica dos efeitos da mineração na Amazónia, focando nas práticas de resistência e reexistência das comunidades indígenas, destacando os seus saberes ancestrais e refletindo sobre os caminhos possíveis para a preservação do território e da biodiversidade amazónica.
