Resumen

The multiple meanings of Indigenous territory and property are explored here by means of a multidisciplinary lens. An ethnological journey through different geographies and times is undertaken to explain some property formation processes and illuminate how they unfold in the Andean region and, particularly, in Peru. Based on four core notions of anthropology—time, space, culture and power—Indigenous territory and property are described showing how land commodification has imposed detrimental effects on indigenous peoples.
