Abstract

The natives, called "indigenous" by a white, imperial, colonial and republican generality, look at the Earth and draw their strength from it without revealing their secrets. Living as an original means to have as a primary reference the relationship with the Earth in which one is born and in which the vital niche is manufactured, it does not matter if its location is in the jungle, in the aridity of the deserts, in the Andean skirts or in the communities of the metropolitan peripheries. What places these bodies is their condition of forming a community linked to a specific place that will be immanent to its existential constitution. The originators do not feel citizens as subjects of law that are part of a population controlled by a State, but incarnated bodies to the Earth that only exist in the plural form of the word "Peoples". The peoples and the bodies of the natives are part of the Earth. The separation between the community and the Earth supposes the separation between the people of right and their bodies, central operation executed by the history of the State to create administered populations. This is the street with the only hand that transforms the native into "poor citizen" or "poor without land", which forces the bodies to sell their subsistence to enrich the new owners of the land. Separating the originals from their relationship with the vital niche, from their political and social relationship that lives off the land, is an operation of the transcendent states that are linked today to the forms of financial capitalism, to transform the so-called "Indians" in the poor, because without the poor there is no capitalism.
