Abstract

This article tries to answer the question of whether or not Amerindian teachers as well as organisations’ leaders can be considered contemporary elites of Amazonian peoples. This issue is analysed through the examples of two Amerindian groups, the E’ñepá of Venezuela and the Matsigenka of Peru. They are examined on the basis of developmental programmes, opinions of the Amerindians concerned, as well as their social practices. The conclusion is that in the case of both groups, despite their different socio-cultural situations, the Amerindian teachers and organisations’ leaders constitute seeming elites for they are only perceived as such by representatives of nation-states.
