Abstract
Indigenous social movements originated as a means of opposing colonization and Christianization. The intensity of this phenomenon has significantly increased in the 19th Century when colonialism peaked. Posern-Zieliński selected three examples of such movements: the Venezuelan eschatological-fatalist Yaruro movement, the millennialist-prophetic Tukana movement from Brasil and the syncretic-evangelic cults from Argentina. These three movements are used to analyze the role of such movements in societal change and conservation.
