not be injured. Death When a Guaryo dies, their soul travels to the land of Tamoi, the Great Ancestor. On this journey, their soul passes through various temptations with great danger. At the end of the journey, Tamoi washes the soul as it will now become young and attractive again. Politics Central Organization of Native Guarayos Peoples Following the destruction of an interdepartmental highway opening the region to outsides, the Guarayo people created second level organization, Central Organization of Native Guarayos Peoples (COPNAG). Leaders were elected a general assembly consisting of representatives across the province. COPNAG is responsible for representing Guarayo interests, allocating resources through submitting forest management plans in titled TCO lands, and certifying the authenticity of pre-existing land claims. COPNAG struggled with accusations and fraud because of the power the leaders of the organization have over land claims. The organization soon split and a parallel group, the ‘authentic’ COPNAG assumed power and were soon recognized by the Santa Cruz departmental government and the Comité Cívico of Santa Cruz. Daniel Yaquirera, the new President of COPNAG, has been fighting the pressures on their land with minimal support from the state government for their land rights. 1996 Forest Law The 1996 Forest Law finally recognized the Guaryos as legitimate forest users occupying shared land. During a period of broad reforms, this law was negotiated for the status and use of Bolivias forest land. The law allowed them to consolidate their control of the land and create 76 forest management plans. The government has not fully supported and defended these forest properties that has created insufficient security. In recent years, soybean producers have moved to the southern parts of the farmlands, occupied by the Guarayos, as the region has higher economic stakes. This has led to greater administrative problems as organizations and the government often neglect the Guarayos property rights. BO Road Sector Capacity Development Project The BO Road Sector Capacity Development Project includes an Indigenous Peoples Plan financed by The World Bank credit and loan that was approved in September 2015. Through promoting intercultural dialogue, mechanisms of respect, and education for road usage and garbage management, the project aims to support the Guaryo and Siriona people. Since the Guaryo group is in the project area, the Indigenous Peoples Plan was created in order for the indigenous group to benefit from the project. Evo Morales When Evo Morales won the presidential
