Esta investigación analiza una experiencia de defensa y reivindicación territorial del pueblo indígena Yshir ante la discriminación estructural y el despojo de unas tierras denominadas Eshma o Puerto Ramos.Se indaga de qué modo un conflicto por la tierra impacta negativamente en distintas dimensiones de la vida de un pueblo indígena y al mismo tiempo se describen las acciones que realiza la Unión de Comunidades de la Nación Yshir (UCINY) para la recuperación de esta parte de su territorio.El diseño metodológico es cualitativo y las técnicas de investigación combinan notas de campo con entrevistas a profundidad a líderes políticos y espirituales del pueblo Yshir. Como resultado se puede señalar que para el Pueblo Yshir son fundamentales las prácticas culturales, cosmovisiones, estrategias y actividades de protección colectiva a los efectos de la reivindicación de Eshma.Así, se puede observar, que este derecho de recuperar las tierras en cuestión se encuentra establecido no solo en la Constituciónde la Republica del Paraguay, sino en el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, independientemente a la necesidadde reformar la Ley 904/81 en base a los estándares impuestos por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (Corte IDH).  Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales y Políticas, Universidad Nacional del Nordeste 2024-03-20 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unne.edu.ar/index.php/rcd/article/view/6959 10.30972/rcd.226959 Research Journal of the Faculty of Law and Social and Political Sciences – UNNE; Vol. 2 No. 2 (2023); 1-14 Revista Científica de la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Sociales y Políticas; Vol. 2 Núm. 2 (2023); 1-14 2953-4232 spa https://revistas.unne.edu.ar/index.php/rcd/article/view/6959/6830 Derechos de autor 2023 Maximiliano Mendieta Miranda https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0
