description This article presents an ethnographic analysis of neoextractivism outposts in the northwest of Río Negro province, Argentina, from the mountains to the sea, which to move forward mining projects, green hydrogen, fracking, wind farms, and the installation of technological and hydroelectric infrastructure. We start from our position as Mapuche researchers, and one of us a community member affected by megamining, to examine both the business and state mechanisms behind the new colonialist attacks on indigenous territories. We also explore the territorial and intercommunity defense strategies currently being employed in the region. In addition to describing the cur- rent scenario, the article reviews the historical context that has led to the expansion of neoextractivism in the area, linking indigenous genocide and neoliberalism. Then we delve into the processes of intercommunity mobili- zation, and focuses on the production of Mapuche memories about extractivism and the ways in which these memories are expressed, especially through the stories of Mapuche women. The article aims highlight on the collective demands of the community, about their senses, and how they are rearticulated across generations.

En este artículo presentamos y analizamos etnográficamente el avance neoextractivista contemporáneo en el noroeste de la Provincia argentina de Río Negro que, desde la cordillera hasta el mar, pretende implementar proyectos de minería, hidrógeno verde, fracking petrolero, parques eólicos, instalación de polos tecnológicos e hidroeléctricos. Para eso, partimos de nuestra posición como investigadoras mapuche y una de nosotras como integrante de las comunidades afectadas por la megaminería, desde donde analizamos los mecanismos empresariales y estatales de los nuevos embates colonialistas en territorios indígenas, así como también las estrategias de defensa territorial e intercomunitaria que se están desplegando en la actualidad en nuestra región. Además de describir el escenario actual, reponemos el contexto histórico que ha dado lugar al ingreso y avanzada del neoextractivismo en la zona, estableciendo conexiones entre el genocidio indígena y el neoliberalismo, para luego detenernos en los procesos de movilización intercomunitaria. Indagamos en particular la producción de memorias mapuche sobre el extractivismo y los modos interseccionales en que éstas se expresan, recuperando en esta ocasión los relatos de mujeres mapuche, para dar cuenta de los sentidos que impri- men en estas demandas colectivas y cómo éstas se rearticulan comunitaria e intergeneracionalmente.  Neste artigo, apresentamos e analisamos etnograficamente o avanço neoextrativista no noroeste da província de Río Negro, Argentina, da serra ao mar, com projetos de mineração, hidrogênio verde, fracking de petróleo, parques eólicos, instalação de polos tecnológicos e hidrelétricos. Partimos da nossa po- sição como pesquisadores Mapuche, e uma de nós como membro de uma das comunidades afetadas pela megamineração, para analisar tanto os mecanismos corporativos e estatais dos novos ataques colonialistas aos territórios indígenas, como também os conflitos territoriais e estratégias de defesa intercomunitárias que estão atualmente sendo implementadas na nossa região. Além de descrever o cenário atual, revisamos o contexto histórico que deu origem à entrada e ao avanço do neoextrativismo na área, estabelecendo conexões entre o genocídio indígena e o neoliberalismo, para depois focar nos processos de mobilização intercomunitária. Investigamos em particular a produção de memórias Mapuche sobre o extrativismo e as formas interseccionais em que elas são expressas, recuperando nesta ocasião as histórias de mulheres Ma- puche, para dar conta dos significados que elas imprimem nessas demandas coletivas e como elas são rearticuladas comunitária e intergeracionalmente.
