註釋My dissertation examines the history of the Chazutino people of the northern Peruvian Amazon and the development of Cordillera Azul National Park in 2001 in the forests and mountains where they used to hunt. It is my intention to contextualize the creation of the Park within the local history of the Chazutino people. External influences have brought successive waves of change to the Chazutinos over the past five centuries; the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, the acquisition of the Quechua language, shifts toward Peruvian mainstream society, the introduction of formal schooling, the opening of a road in 1980, and the beginning of the coca boom in the 1990s, all shaped Chazutino lives and livelihoods before the creation of the Park. These changes also paved the way, to some extent, for the creation of the Park in 2001. By that time, there were no Chazutino people living in the mountains of the Cordillera Azul: local people had previously migrated to towns and villages, where they could enjoy better access to markets and public schools. The establishment of the Park and the imposition of rules led to changes in livelihoods and social relations. In parallel, Chazutinos faced the arrival of dispossessed migrants from the Andes and the coast, who settled in the forests near the Cordillera Azul and converted them in agricultural lands. For Chazutinos, it was a threat to their territory. Within this context, conservationists allied with Chazutinos in order to stop the advances of migrants. Chazutinos since then have experienced an identity revival that echoes the emergence of the Amazonian indigenous movement. Thus, the establishment of Cordillera Azul Park cannot be identified as the sole source of change for Chazutinos, but it has marked a recent turning point which I explore through my research.
