This essay is based on two papers previously presented, the first at the 99th annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in San Francisco on November 19, 2000, entitled “Egalitarianism and Power in a Single System: The Marubo Variable-Output Social Structure,” and the next at the second sesquiannual meeting of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America in Miami on January 17, 2004, entitled “Historicity, Ethnography, and Politics in Amazonia.” I would like to thank Dr. Julio Cezar Melatti for his assistance in obtaining permission to work among the Marubo and for his generosity in sharing data with me, and my dissertation advisor, Dr. William L. Balée, for his help and assistance during the long research process. I would also like to thank Alfredo, José, and Alfredinho Barbosa for their hospitality and assistance during my fieldwork.

Durante y después de la fiebre del caucho (aprox. 1890-1920), los antepasados de los marubo migraron desde sus ubicaciones previas hasta un nuevo lugar en las cabeceras de los riachuelos de la cuenca del Yavarí, aislándose de la participación en las actividades económicas del comercio del caucho. Ahí, construyeron una alianza entre miembros de diferentes etnias pano. La alianza fue mediada por el desarrollo de un nuevo sistema ceremonial centrado en los ritos de curación y las fiestas, ambas categorías justificadas por una filosofía de antiviolencia, intercambio y cuidado mutuo, explícitamente pensada para sobrevivir a la fiebre del caucho. Con el tiempo, la alianza se convirtió en fusión étnica, dando lugar a una nueva identidad étnica. A finales del siglo XX, los marubo se enfrentaron a una reintegración al sistema global, a través de la incorporación a la organización burocrática del estado brasileño. Otra vez crearon una alianza interétnica, la organización indígena CIVAJA. Esta alianza fue mediada por las reuniones del movimiento indígena y sus discursos sobre autonomía y poder indígena. El ensayo concluye mostrando un ejemplo concreto del uso del sistema ceremonial marubo para invertir las relaciones de poder entre indígenas y burocracia.
