Los Takanas: el acceso a la tierra y los recursos naturales (1950-2003).

Resum

The Takana Indians of the Bolivian Amazon obtained legal title over a small portion of their ancestral territory in 2003. This article analyzes the changes in the Takana’s system of rules of access to land and natural resources, from 1950 until today. It describes how the Takanas have articulated the family access rules with the common access rules into one system, which applies in different activity spaces such as agriculture, hunting, gathering, religious practices and most recently the commercial use of different natural species. The article discusses the Takana adaptation to the challenges and tendencies of the natural resources´ use in common land access systems.
