The proposal of this article it is to work around the Guaraní indigenous people analyzing the collective actions of the Asamblea del Pueblo Guaraní (APG) -the Guaraní People Assembly- around, the indigenous identity, the territory and the natural resources. This organization begins in the end of the 80´s in the Southeast of Bolivia, a very rich region for natural resources, mainly in oil and gas. Also, the APG made a lot of collective actions for the recognition from the state of their ancestral culture, identity, territory and for the protection of natural resources exists in these territories. In these conflicts the APG has build a broad range of alliances with another indigenous, peasants and social movements in Bolivia. In this sense, we enquire about the complex relationships that occur between the different social movements and the politics of Bolivian State around natural resources and indigenous culture and identity. We use a qualitative method research based on interviews and field observations.
