In this paper the process of emergence of various indigenous organizations in the Amazon area -in the last two decades- is analyzed, and an attempt is made to find the axis common to both of them and the overall society which endoses them. Ethnic elements are thus conceived in a dynamic way, enrolled with the various influences of a historical, economic, and political process to which they already belong, but, at the same time, they try to maintain a space through which their continuity and their claims may be channeled. As the reader will see, these are not Indian ghettoes built over an ethno-populist discourse, or an ethnic one, but rather a relative adjustment to contemporary circumstances, one not exempt from contradictions and empty spaces, and which, according to the author, exhibit the socio-cultural and political vitality of the jungle ethnic groups.

This is an "introduction" to the law of indigenous peoples. Under that word I understand the necessary preparation to reach the proposed goal, in this case, to define what is understood as the right of indigenous peoples and the complications involved in that task. No book has been written on this subject in Peru. Indigenous rights are generally presented as an implicit issue in the approach adopted, for example, referring to peasant or native communities or to some international agreement. The legal idea of the right of peoples, despite its antiquity, continues to motivate heated discussions, especially when it refers to indigenous peoples and self-determination.
