New Interethnic Relations And Native Perceptions Of Human-To-Human Relations In Brazilian Amazonia
Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen, 2009
This article attempts to provide fresh insight into the new kinds of intermediaries found in Amazonian native communities, showing how interethnic relations have changed today's native communities. The text presents a case study of the Manchineri people living in Brazilian Amazonia, focusing in particular on their spokespeople in rural and urban areas. These intermediaries work to produce equality and relatedness within the new social spaces where negotiations are required. Producing new human perspectives with non-natives is necessary in order to interact in the contemporary Amazonian interethnic sociocosmologies. However, in the Manchineri community, new social roles have caused widening generational, urban–rural and gender gaps. The social logic of Amazonian native peoples limits the ways in which specific social roles with special interethnic skills are temporarily adopted, and produces new ways to overcome deepening social, political, and economic distances.

Este artículo ofrece un nuevo punto de vista sobre los nuevos tipos de intermediarios aparecidos en las comunidades indígenas amazónicas, mostrando cómo las nuevas relaciones interétnicas han cambiado la realidad de estas comunidades. El texto presenta un estudio sobre los Manchineris de la Amazonía brasileña. Estos agentes llevan a cabo la producción de igualdad y relatividad dentro de los espacios sociales donde se requiere esta negociación. En la comunidad Manchineri nuevos papeles sociales causan una creciente separación entre distintas generaciones, entre géneros así como entre zonas urbanas y rurales. Sin embargo, la producción de nuevas perspectivas humanas con los no-indígenas es necesaria para poder interactuar en la actual sociocosmología amazónica interétnica. La lógica social de los pueblos amazónicos indígenas condiciona el cómo estos papeles sociales con habilidades interétnicas específicas son temporalmente adoptados y crea nuevas maneras de vencer las distancias sociales, económicas y políticas en expansión.

Last Sovereign Queen of Hawai'i Born
On This Day: In 1838 the last sovereign Queen of Hawai'i, Lydia Kamakaʻeha Kaola Maliʻi Liliʻuokalani, was born. Liliʻuokalani inherited the throne from her brother Kalakaua on 29 January 1891. On 14 January 1893, a group composed of Americans and Europeans formed a Committee of Safety seeking to overthrow the Hawaiian Kingdom, depose the Queen, and seek annexation to the United States. The Queen was deposed on 17 January 1893 and temporarily relinquished her throne to "the superior military forces of the United States". She had hoped the United States, like Great Britain earlier in Hawaiian history, would restore Hawaii's sovereignty to the rightful holder.
