Historial de Shipibo-Conibo

Nota de IA: sections-wave1-2026-08: compiled with AI assistance as original prose from cited public sources (https://bdpi.cultura.gob.pe/pueblos/shipibo-konibo, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipibo-Conibo_people, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_de_Uchunya_v._Plantaciones_de_Pucallpa_and_the_Regional_Government_of_Ucayali, https://www.forestpeoples.org/publications-resources/press-releases/article/indigenous-movement-of-the-shipibo-konibo-people-of-ucayali-responds-to-palm-oil-company-ocho-surs-delegitimisation-campaign/, https://www.ccincagarcilaso.gob.pe/en/balcony/kenebo-cartografia-de-la-eco-cosmologia-shipibo-konibo/, https://www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhibitions/sara-flores-bermondsey-2025). Sensitivity: Population figures are genuinely contested and depend on the census question: 25,232 self-identified vs 34,152 mother-tongue speakers (Peru 2017 census), vs c. 32,964 community residents (Ministry of Culture); older estimates ranged 11,000-25,000. Prefer the spelling Shipibo-Konibo, which is the Peruvian state's and the people's own current usage; 'Shipibo-Conibo' is the older Hispanised form. Do NOT publish interpretations of individual kené motifs, íkaro/healing-song content, or ayahuasca ceremonial detail: designers and healers treat the visionary source of the designs as restricted, and commercial 'ayahuasca tourism' framing is a live grievance. Avoid the exonym 'chama', which is pejorative. Named communities in the 'today' section (Santa Clara de Uchunya) and named artists appear only because they are already public actors in litigation, federations or exhibitions; do not add village-level location detail for others. Neighbouring peoples in voluntary isolation (Isconahua and others) live in the Sierra del Divisor area - do not imply contact or give locations. Awaiting contributor and community review.

Sensitivity: Deliberately withheld: the content of icaros and any healing song text; the onanya and meraya training sequence, diet regimes and what occurs inside a session; any preparation method, plant-part combination, dose or recipe for ayahuasca or any other plant named. Plants are named only at the level of association with healing contexts, as already published. Also withheld: reconstruction of the female puberty-rite content described in mid-twentieth-century ethnographies of ani sheati, including the physical practices those texts record, because they are not practised in that form today, their reproduction would be gratuitous, and the community frames the feast publicly through hospitality and alliance instead. Flagged rather than resolved: the extent of aniline dye replacement, the disputed archaeological continuity between Cumancaya-tradition wares and modern Shipibo pottery, local instrument names that vary between published sources, and the ongoing internal debate about ayahuasca tourism and the commercial release of ceremonial recordings. Awaiting contributor and community review.

Nota de IA: audit-fix: these Spanish sections were loaded through a path that stripped every accent and every eñe, so the entire Spanish half of eleven profiles read as unaccented text. This revision restores diacritics by rule, applied ONLY to words whose unaccented spelling is not itself a valid Spanish word — so no meaning is guessed at. Genuinely ambiguous pairs (esta/está, mas/más, aun/aún, solo/sólo, termino/término/terminó, publico/público/publicó, practica/práctica) are deliberately left untouched and still need a human pass. Source blocks containing URLs were skipped entirely so that citations stay byte-exact. No wording, fact or figure was changed.

Nota de IA: audit-fix, follow-up to the diacritics restoration: termino and practica are ambiguous as bare words (noun or conjugated verb) and were left alone in the first pass. Following a determiner, or in the plural terminos, only the noun reading is possible, so those instances can be accented safely. Bare ambiguous forms remain untouched and still want a human read.

Nota de IA: audit-fix: the determiner-anchored accent pass used a replacement that matched an optional plural s but did not write it back, turning "las practicas" into "las práctica". One section was affected and the plural is restored here. Recorded rather than silently corrected because the revision history is the archive's audit trail.
