Abstract
To recap the history of the western Amazon and the Andean foothills of Ecuador’s Amazon region from a perspective of conflictology, the article reflects on ethnohistorical examples of various indigenous peoples showing avoidance strategies as the modus operandi in conflict management, focusing on spatial strategies of physical avoidance. Analyzing the conditions and consequences, historical continuities and ruptures of various forms of avoidance, covering a historical framework from the early colonial period to the present, the article concludes with perspectives on the current problematical situation of the last indigenous groups remaining between voluntary isolation and forced contact in the region of the Yasuni National Park in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
