Throughout the Amazon, notions of ownership and mastership shape the use of natural resources among many Indigenous communities. These ideas are reflected in the figure of game masters (i.e. spiritual beings who own the animals), which are widespread among Indigenous peoples across the Amazon Basin. In this paper, we explore the diverse biocultural manifestations of this socio-cosmology, focusing on the game masters’ dynamic roles, histories and functions. Our review highlights the breadth and depth of ideas, practices, and rituals used to regulate humans’ relations with these non-human agencies. It illustrates how the relations established between Indigenous communities and animals reflect both reciprocity and other asymmetrical types of dependency. This complex and sophisticated socio-cosmology underpins Indigenous understandings of sustainability in the world’s largest tropical rainforest.

游戏大师和亚马逊土著人对可持续性的看法

在整个亚马逊地区,所有权和主宰权的概念影响着许多土著社区对自然资源的利用。这些想法反映在游戏大师的形象上(即拥有动物的属灵的人),在整个亚马逊河流域的土著人民中很普遍。在本文中,我们着眼于游戏大师的动态角色,历史和功能,探索了这种社会宇宙学的多种生物文化表现形式。我们的评论重点介绍了用来规范人类与这些非人类机构的关系的思想,实践和仪式的广度和深度。它说明了土著社区和动物之间建立的关系如何反映互惠和其他非对称依赖类型。这种复杂而复杂的社会宇宙论为世界上最大的热带雨林对可持续性的土著理解奠定了基础。
