| Sumario: | This article analyzes the elaboration of indigenous participatory public policies through two variables: the languages and state requirements -written records and temporality- with effects of technicality and neutrality; and the political praxis and resource management of actors such as native peoples. I present an ethnographic study of the debates on the national Indigenous Community Property bill between a group of indigenous peoples and officials of the National Institute of Indigenous Affairs in 2015. I identified three situations: exchanges for state requirements to define PCI; management of the times of referents of native peoples, questioning the institutional ones; and the alliances woven by them to achieve their parliamentary state. I conclude that public policies constitute networks of power, rationalities and polysemic social actions with tensions between institutionalized state channels and the practices of different actors. There, legitimations are disputed at the discursive-symbolic level, through state technicalities that restrict the original agency, and in the negotiations between original peoples and state-political actors. These praxis make visible a non-essentialized indigenous agency with conditions: its times, different from the bureaucratic-state ones, the consultation, its political capacity for maneuver and positions before broad political debates such as the definition of country models. |
