«A Conspiracy against the Civilized People»: History Politics and ldeologies of Arahuacan and Tukanoan Millenarian Movements of the Northwest Amazona

Tukanoan and Arawakan millenarian movements of the North-West Amazon are compared and interpreted through the ways in which messianic leaders sought to develop new forms of power and leadership in their struggles against the political-economic system imposed by non-native peoples and institutions in the 19th Century. While Arawakon millenarism developed a strategy of resistance trough autonomy from the dominant order of the white man, the Tukanoan movements sought first to usurp and later to acquire its wealth and power. Ambiguities in Tukanoan ideologies of power are seen as one of the principal sources of internal tensions and conflicts evident in the movements.
