Since the born of Ecuador as a republic, many “colonization” and “development” projects for the Amazonian space have risen and fallen. This long process includes: evangelization, exploitation and violence to the Amazonian Ancestral Peoples. A geography made of “inner frontiers”, a policy based on the binary: civilization / barbarism. The Ahuano River was during many decades a “frontier” between this projects and the Waorani Nation. How sounds the Ahuano River? What is telling its flow?

Desde el nacimiento del Ecuador como república, distintos proyectos de “colonización” y “desarrollo” en el espacio amazónico han tenido auge y decadencia. Este largo proceso incluye: evangelización, explotación y violencia hacia los pueblos ancestrales de la Amazonía. Una geografía hecha de “fronteras internas”, una política basada en el binario: civilización / barbarie. El Río Ahuano fue durante muchas décadas la “frontera” entre estos proyectos y la Nación Waorani. ¿Cómo suena el Río Ahuano? ¿Qué nos dice su caudal?
