Over the last few years state and private interests, especially those of the agribusiness and extractive
industries, have built up enormous barriers between Argentina’s native population and their rights to their
traditional lands. The UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples has criticised the lack of
consultation with the communities that may be affected by development projects and exploitation of
natural resources.
In November 23, 2010, La Primavera’s people blocked the 86 National Route for four months, to protest
against the building of a National University on what they understood to be their ancestral lands. Police
violently broke up the protest, shooting at those gathered on the road. The episode ended tragically, with
a protester and a policeman dead, several injured and some houses burned down.
On October 12, 2008, Javier Chocobar, a member of the Pueblo Diaguita, in Tucumán province, was
shot dead while trying to stop the removal of his community by a local landowner. Although three people
were charged with his death, the trial has not started yet.
In spite of the enormous challenges and violence faced by Argentina’s indigenous peoples, they refuse to
give up their claim to their ancestral lands.
"The land is our life. From it we obtain the food and medicines we need. It provides us with the natural
resources to make our houses, for our livelihoods. Without the land, we the indigenous people will lose
our spiritual roots," sums up Félix Diaz.

He also says that the governor of Formosa province, Gildo Insfrán, wants to make deals “with other
countries.”
“We don’t have title to the property [of our territory], because in that epoch the government never gave the
tribe’s chief title to the territory. Now, people enter the area without permission, because there is no title.
But it was always our land.” Sanagachi adds.
“I don’t know if title to property is of any interest to them,” he says. “How do we assure them that they can
continue living there? I don’t think they want title in order to sell it. The idea is to recognize the territory as
theirs. I imagine you could resolve the issue with a land reservation as the United States did, although
they created reservations for the purpose of surveying the land. Here, we would do it to guarantee the
lands remain with the indigenous people,” Rojas explains.
“They don’t have rights of registered properties. In theory, the lands are public lands, and the Chaco
government [and Formosa] has taken it from them. It’s a problem with no easy solution, because the land
value has increased. That’s why the only solution they have is to establish rights to property, whether it’s
a reservation or granting the land to them individually. Otherwise, the government will continue taking it,”
he concludes.
