STELLA, Valentina. Tension over indigenous recognition: the struggle to be mapuche and tehuelche in the Chubut coast and valley. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2019, n.50, pp.49-66.  Epub 19-Dez-2019. ISSN 1850-275X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/cas.i50.4340.

In 2009 I started working with the mapuche-tehuelche communities of the coast and valley of the province of Chubut. During those years, many of the struggles and demands revolved around the local senses of belonging and the political particularity acquired by the dual adscription as mapuche-tehuelche in this region. The formation of communities that self-describe as belonging to these two peoples is one of the characteristics that defined the indigenous movement in the province, and particularly in the coast and the valley. The present work, therefore, focuses on historicizing that process of strengthening and visibility of their identities, to understand the ways in which the mapuche-tehuelche people modified the conditions that determine their ways of appearing in public spaces and began to be aware of the political responsibility as agents of their own history.

Palavras-chave : Mapuche-tehuelche; Struggle; Sense of belonging; Identity labels; Memory.
