The government responded by establishing Communitarian Indigenous Land to provide a legal framework for land claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their protest was one of a number launched in Bolivia and Paraguay in the 1980\u2019s. As part of Professor Cristina Rojas\u2019 research on Indigenous people in this region, she is asking, \u201cto what extent does the process of making and implementing territorial claims foster or thwart the intent of making territory a space for reproducing Indigenous forms of existence?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the support of a $299,024 Insight Grant, Professor Rojas, of the Department of Political Science and the Institute of Political Economy, will be exploring the practice of \u201cterritory making as world making.\u201d Her project will follow four different territorial claims to the state: two involve communities in the Bolivian highland and two are lowland communities in Bolivia and Paraguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis research\u2026will move away from a dualist to a relational ontology in which humans and nature interact,\u201d wrote Professor Rojas. \u201cLinking territoriality to the reproduction of life opens up alternative ways of organizing the economy and promotes a new understanding of relations between humans and nature.
