Indigenous lands are responsible for the conservation of nearly 21% of the Brazilian Amazon, and are the main barrier against deforestation. This research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between political empowerment, socio-cultural resilience and territorial control among Amazonian indigenous peoples. I sought to explore which factors may lead to the persistence or loss of indigenous knowledge after geographical displacement. I argue that cultural and environmental resilience are intertwined, so that where traditional knowledge is maintained, there will be greater territorial control among indigenous peoples in the Amazon. I apply a systems approach to explore the effects of historical, environmental, political, socioeconomic and cultural factors in their interaction with a specific domain of indigenous knowledge.

520 $a Indigenous lands are responsible for the conservation of nearly 21% of the Brazilian Amazon, and are the main barrier against deforestation. This research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between political empowerment, socio-cultural resilience and territorial control among Amazonian indigenous peoples. I sought to explore which factors may lead to the persistence or loss of indigenous knowledge after geographical displacement. I argue that cultural and environmental resilience are intertwined, so that where traditional knowledge is maintained, there will be greater territorial control among indigenous peoples in the Amazon. I apply a systems approach to explore the effects of historical, environmental, political, socioeconomic and cultural factors in their interaction with a specific domain of indigenous knowledge.
520 $a The Kaiabi speak a language of the Tupi-Guarani stock and are great agriculturalists and basket makers. The majority of the population was transferred by the Brazilian government from their ancestral territory in the Tapajos River basin to the Xingu Park region from 1950 to 1966. Two small groups remained in the ancestral land, one on the Peixes River and other on the Teles Pires River. Transfer to the park brought changes in Kaiabi social and political organisation and in the access to and management of natural resources. Forty years after the transfer, the Xingu Kaiabi have adapted to the new conditions, creating mechanisms for cultural perpetuation and territorial control. By contrast, the groups who remained in the ancestral land lost many aspects of their traditional lore.
520 $a Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were carried out in order to compare the dynamics of knowledge related to basketry and textile weaving among 114 men and 110 women in four villages across three Kaiabi groups in a five year period. Factors that led to the cultural peristence and political empowerment of the Xingu Kaiabi in contrast with the other two groups were also explored, as well as peoples' perspectives on the role and work of political organizations.
520 $a Results show that knowledge is being both innovated and eroded among the Kaiabi, and that agency, leadership and innovation are critical assets in enabling cultural resilience. Whereas in Xingu and Teles Pires areas there is innovation and new knowledge being generated- with younger generations still learning- in Rio dos Peixes, knowledge and native language have been eroded at a faster pace. Promoting the persistence of native language and adapting schools to include both indigenous and western knowledge could help to reverse the process of loss of cultural resilience in Rio dos Peixes. Greater political empowerment in Xingu, allied to the development of community-based projects, has influenced indigenous knowledge perpetuation and mechanisms for its transmission. In the Kaiabi case, territorial isolation combined with political support and local leadership led to greater cultural and environmental resilience of the Xingu group in comparison to the other two areas.
