| description | This article deals with developments following a period of social conflict resulting from the dispossession of Rarámuri communities in the Copper Canyon of the Sierra Tarahumara by several tourism entrepreneurs. The planning of the “Aventuras” Tourist Park generated expectations and speculation that led private individuals to try to forcibly displace the Rarámuri communities. These communities organized and responded with lawsuits in the courts, most of which have been won. In this research we analyze the process of negotiation with the state government that occurred after the first victories of the communities and the arrival of a state government sympathetic to their demands. During the period studied, the recognition and exercise of the communities' human rights experienced paradigmatic advances at the national level, however, they also faced unforeseen obstacles and State inertia that have not allowed the satisfaction of the communities' demands. The establishment of the Park's Consultative Council and the construction of the regional airport are standpoints for the analysis of this sui generis situation in the region. |
