After the adoption of the Montecristi Constitution in 2008, a new period was opened in the recent history of Ecuador with the establishment of a plurinational state. Its reflection in institutions, public policies and mechanisms of participation is creating a context of strong tensions within the system, mainly between two actors that initially seemed to be natural allies: the government of Rafael Correa and CONAIE, the country’s main indigenous organization. Through a series of interviews conducted during 2010, this article uses the frame analysis methodology for rebuilding and framing the main discourses of indigenous leaders and looking for some causes of that conflict.
Key words: Ecuador, plurinational state, indigenous movement, discursive frameworks, political conflict, new mechanisms of participation.
