Abstract
This work thinks over the chiquitano perspective of living, which can be understood as some sort of animism, once it deems that all elements of nature possess souls, to which the Chiquitanos relate. The understanding of the Chiquitanos’ ethnic identity appears in theirs ceremonies and in the relationship of the believers with the Saints and hitchis. There are several rituals – such as curusse, romarias and festas de Santo – able to reveal the Chiquitanos’ ethnic identity and the permanent cultural flow in their traditional territory.
