Abstract Drawing on long term ethnographic research in the SE Peruvian Amazon this article asks what kinds and forms of learning do indigenous women value, how are the knowledge and skills they value changing over time and what is the nature of their agency in the face of the discrimination and prejudice that permeate their lives. Harakmbut women’s lives have been transformed over the past 40 years in the wake of neoliberal globalisation, rapacious exploitative economic practices and unregulated illegal gold mining. Within this context, three types of learning emerge as important: learning about indigenous cosmology and way of life; experiential learning through engagement with an expanding capitalist society; and learning through training and capacity building for participation, voice and rights-based advocacy. The article argues that all three types of learning give meaning to Harakmbut women’s lives, their relationship to their history and their views of the world.

土著知识，技能和行动：秘鲁亚马逊土著妇女的学习

摘要本文利用东南秘鲁亚马逊地区的长期民族志研究，询问土著妇女重视哪些学习类型和形式，她们重视的知识和技能随着时间的变化如何变化，面对这种情况，她们的代理性质是什么？歧视和偏见充斥着他们的生活。在新自由主义全球化，贪婪的剥削性经济实践和不受管制的非法金矿开采之后，原住民妇女的生活在过去40年中发生了变化。在这种情况下，三种学习变得重要起来：了解土著宇宙学和生活方式；通过与不断扩大的资本主义社会互动来进行经验学习；通过培训和能力建设进行学习，以促进参与，基于声音和权利的宣传。
