“…Qualitative data analysis consisted of interpreting key testimonials about the underlying meanings and central rationale behind the use of medicinal plants by rurban patients in particular (Lemos et al 2019). The testimonies were transcribed in Spanish, written in italics and between quotation marks, along with the patients' initials and ages.…”

The botanical knowledge of Mapuche people settled on the peripheries of Esquel city (Argentine Patagonia) was compared with that of urban residents in order to know their particularities, and to understand how rural–urban (rurban) hybridization resignifies their practices and medicinal plants richness for better adaptation to city life. Interviews were conducted with a sample of 79 patients attending primary health care centers (33 rurban Mapuches, 46 urban), and data were qualitative–quantitatively analyzed. Rurban residents cite similar plant richness to that of urban ones (∼69 species), though they are different in composition. Local medicinal flora provides responses to diseases with a similar incidence in both groups, but each group addresses them based on the resources it recognizes as most effective and accessible. The rurban system is flexible facing the challenge that life in the city implies, evidencing the incorporation and replacement of native resources by exotic ones as an expression of restructuring processes and cultural diversification. These changes allow for recreation of memory about the importance of medicinal plants, and adjustment of therapeutic practices to a present time, having different needs from those of rurality. Urban residents incorporate plants from Mapuche pharmacopoeia, some of which are on visualization, evidencing bidirectional resource and ethnobotanical knowledge transference between groups. As a conclusion, this case study points out the importance of recognizing rurbanity as a starting point for the establishment of public policies that improve governance and access to health for Mapuche migrants in the city.

Background: Non-pharmacological therapy related to traditional, magical, and/or religious treatments for managing recurrent and non-recurrent seizures in children persists in several traditional communities. The research aims to investigate the concepts, beliefs, and types of traditional treatments used for cases of seizures in children reported by residents of a quilombola community. Methods: The research took place in the quilombo community Sítio Arruda, Ceará, northeastern Brazil. The study population consisted of 19 participants, including healers, prayers, and midwives. Applied a socioeconomic form and a semi-structured interview script. For data analysis, the Discourse of the Collective Speech (DCS) technique was used. Results: For the questions asked, a total of 14 central ideas were found. The most prevalent was seizure is the most common type of disease in children (50.0%); The seizure occurs because of the fever (42.0%); In the community, we treat and prevent seizures with the use of plants (63.2%). Conclusions: The present study’s results addressed relevant issues that include valuing and understanding the traditional knowledge of the community, access to health services, and the need for clarification actions about seizures.

“…Con la información de las entrevistas previamente transcritas y los datos provenientes de las fuentes secundarias, hice un análisis de contenido y discurso (Campos et al, 2019;Lemos et al, 2019). A partir de ahí siguiendo a Sousa et al (2019), establecí subcategorías sobre las distintas formas de relación entre los Chachi y los primates que después las agrupé en tres categorías grandes o dimensiones etnoecológicas: kosmos (cosmovisión), corpus (conocimientos) y praxis (prácticas) (Toledo y Alarcón-Cháires, 2012).…”

El presente estudio es la primera aproximación a la etnoprimatología de los Chachi, una nacionalidad indígena del noroccidente ecuatoriano, de la que no se contaba con información publicada respecto a su relación tradicional con los primates. Entre el año 2020 y 2021, se realizaron 26 entrevistas de manera presencial y online, sumado a una revisión exhaustiva de fuentes secundarias y la aplicación de otros métodos complementarios. Se encontró que la relación entre los Chachi y tres especies de primates (Alouatta palliata, Ateles fusciceps y Cebus capucinus) se compone de distintos aspectos agrupados en tres dimensiones interrelacionadas: cosmovisión, conocimientos y prácticas. A pesar de que en varios aspectos la etnoprimatología chachi es análoga a la de otros pueblos amerindios y posee matices particulares de la Región del Chocó-Darién, se sugiere que no sea vista desde el esencialismo y más bien se busque su comprensión a través del análisis del contexto histórico donde tiene lugar, para a partir de ahí repensar las prácticas de conservación de los primates con los Chachi en el noroccidente de Ecuador.
