| Sumario: | This paper analyzes the land use patterns of mestizo-colonists and indigenous populations in the Ecuadorian Amazon. With data from a household survey conducted in colonist, Kichwa and Shuar communities in the Pastaza province, Ecuador, we determined that, as expected, colonists mostly engage in commercial agriculture and cattle ranching. There are substantial differences in land use patterns of both indigenous groups under study. Like colonists, the Shuar engage in produce cash crops and cattle, whereas the Kichwa almost exclusively engage in subsistence farming. Such different patterns appear to be related to local conditions, migratory and settlement patterns and the degree of exposure to the market economy. Beyond this, the results presented here indicate that, contrary to the general wisdom, the livelihood strategies and land use patterns of indigenous peoples do not necessarily differ from those adopted by indigenous peoples. |
