| description | This article’s thesis is that in Ecuador the Armed Forces have played an important role in the political organization of the indigenous peoples and their recent irruption into national politics. On January 21, 2000 the military head officers staged a coup d’etat using a sector of high rank officers, the Indian organizations and the social organizations. These officers intended to protect the status quo that had suffered a hard blow after the peace treaty with Peru, which disabled war as a discourse around which to rally for national unity. At the same time, the Indians use the Armed Forces as a way of gaining national presence in decision-making political spaces. This two-way dealing emerged from a military scheme that became apparent during the first decades of the twentieth century when the first signs of what would later become a multicultural nationalism came into view. |

Este artículo sostiene que las Fuerzas Armadas en Ecuador han influido en la organización política delas poblaciones indígenas en un proceso que cubre un siglo aproximadamente, y en su reciente eclosión en la política nacional. El 21 de enero de 2000 la cúpula militar protagonizó un golpe de Estado en el que utilizó a un sector de oficiales superiores, a los indios organizados y a los movimientos sociales. A más de rebelarse contra un gobierno en crisis (política y económica), estos oficiales buscaron proteger el status quo que, erosionado por la firma de la paz con el Perú (1998), atrajo la crisis de las FF.AA al desaparecer la guerra como narrativa aglutinante de la unidad nacional. Simultáneamente, los indios utilizaron a los militares en ese escenario para conseguir presencia en los espacios de decisión política. Esta mutua utilización surgió de una propuesta militar que se deja sentir ya desde las primeras décadas del siglo XX cuando se presentan los primeros trazos de lo que posteriormente tomaría la forma de un nacionalismo multicultural.
