Los indígenas por el hecho de su
propia existencia tienen derecho a vivir libremente en sus propios territorios; la estrecha
relación que los indígenas mantienen con la tierra debe de ser reconocida y comprendi-
da como la base fundamental de sus culturas, su vida espiritual, su integridad y su su-
pervivencia económica. Para las comunidades indígenas la relación con la tierra no es
meramente una cuestión de posesión y producción sino un elemento material y espiritual
del que deben gozar plenamente, inclusive para preservar su legado cultural y transmi-
tirlo a las generaciones futuras.

In one of the great tragedies of our age, indigenous traditions, stories, cultures and knowledge are winking out across the world. Whole languages and mythologies are vanishing, and in some cases even entire indigenous groups are falling into extinction. This is what makes the news that a tribe in the Amazon—the Matsés peoples of Brazil and Peru—have created a 500-page encyclopedia of their traditional medicine all the more remarkable. The encyclopedia, compiled by five shamans with assistance from conservation group Acaté, details every plant used by Matsés medicine to cure a massive variety of ailments. “The [Matsés Traditional Medicine Encyclopedia] marks the first time shamans of an Amazonian tribe have created a full and complete transcription of their medicinal knowledge written in their own language and words,” Christopher Herndon, president and co-founder of Acaté, told Mongabay in an interview (in full below).

Indigenous peoples. Ethnic groups descended from and identified with the original inhabitants of a given region Dancer of the Save Our Ancestors Remains and Resources Indigenous Network Group (SOARRING) Foundation (2020) Indigenous peoples, also referred to as First people, Aboriginal people, Native people, or autochthonous people, are culturally distinct ethnic groups who are native to a particular place. The term indigenous was first, in its modern context, used by Europeans, who used it to differentiate the indigenous peoples of the Americas from black people who were brought to the Americas as slaves from Africa.
It may have first been used in this context by Sir Thomas Browne in 1646, who stated "and although in many parts thereof there be at present swarms of Negroes serving under the Spaniard, yet were they all transported from Africa, since the discovery of Columbus; and are not indigenous or proper natives of America.
