Arutam is the great spirit of the Shuar people, it is a spiritual force whom they are lookin for to get stronger their spirits, and to give a meaning to their life. Today the role of Arutam has changed. This is a look at the daily life of the struggle and resistance of the Warintz community before the forms of the globalizing logic, extractivism and developmental discourse that get into people's lives to dissolve, from inside, most of the meanings that keep this community alive, as well as the entire PSHA (Shuar Arutam People in spanish ).
