Huichol territoriality: Land claims and cultural representation in western Mexico.
Liffman, Paul M.

Huichol territoriality: Land claims and cultural representation in western Mexico. - 481 p.

Adviser: Paul Friedrich.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2002.

Based on fieldwork that included writing for Mexican political audiences and collaborating with a land rights NGO, this dissertation discusses (1) Mexican indigenous territoriality on four scales of analysis (place, region, nation and global); (2) Huichol (Wixarika) people's ceremonially-based practices and theories of territoriality; (3) the political claims they base on their ceremonial relationships and practices; and (4) how Mexican and US print media represent both Huichol and other indigenous autonomy claims in the context of presumed violence by Huichols.

520 $a Based on fieldwork that included writing for Mexican political audiences and collaborating with a land rights NGO, this dissertation discusses (1) Mexican indigenous territoriality on four scales of analysis (place, region, nation and global); (2) Huichol (Wixarika) people's ceremonially-based practices and theories of territoriality; (3) the political claims they base on their ceremonial relationships and practices; and (4) how Mexican and US print media represent both Huichol and other indigenous autonomy claims in the context of presumed violence by Huichols.
520 $a Throughout the 5,000 square kilometers where Huichols live and plant maize in the Sierra Madre Occidental, their bilateral kinship relations, temple (tuki) organization, territorial narratives, and the entailed metaphors of "rootedness" (nanayari) integrate their dispersed rancherias into temple cargo hierarchies (jicareros). In turn, jicareros trek to sacred places throughout a 90,000 square kilometer prehispanic territory ( kiekari) to ritually inscribe the rancherias' historically shifting positions within it. In doing so, they (1) appropriate metaphors of governance like "registration" (registro ) from the Mexican state; (2) deem themselves necessary to planetary survival as ceremonial brokers with the ancestral controllers of nature; and (3) temporarily reconcile oppositions between hierarchy and proliferation within their own society and between symbolic potency as quintessential "prehispanic survivals" and exploited peasants within the national space.
520 $a Under the global indigenous rights discourses inscribed in Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization and Mexican Constitutional Article 4, Huichol leaders allied with non-governmental organizations have invoked their ceremonial territoriality in regional political forums and an educationally-based revitalization movement. This new discursive space enables them to (1) expand longstanding agrarian claims to colonial title lands as comuneros in the Sierra; (2) formulate broader demands as a pueblo indio with rights of access, hunting and gathering throughout the prehispanic kiekari; and (3) consolidate ethnic identities in terms of that territoriality.
520 $a More controversially, individual actors have invoked these same discourses of territorial defense to justify the recent death of a US writer in the community of study. This generated an international scandal that challenged the limits of Huichol communal authorities' discursive authority and indeed the legitimacy of indigenous autonomy in the Mexican public sphere.
