| Summary: | The anthropological studies that address the relationships between native people and Christianity often underline the ephemeral nature of Amerindian conversions. However, since the second half of the twentieth century, several indigenous evangelical movements have emerged in the Amazonian area under the influence of foreign missionaries. This article explores this phenomenon through the case study of the Baniwa, a group in the Brazilian Amazon whose members have created their own Churches. By analyzing the trajectory of this religious movement, I show that its encounter with the national evangelical churches is currently fostering its institutionalization and its articulation with similar movements, at a pan-ethnic and transnational level. |
