In 1994, CART (Central Asháninka del Río Tambo) was reactivated after years of violence in the Central Jungle. This indigenous organization managed to reorganize and held its VII Congress that year. The reactivation of CART was part of a broader process of restructuring of indigenous organizations that began to function towards the end of the 1980s and were restructured around 1992 or 1993. These organizations became important interlocutors with the State and other institutions after the most intense period of violence.
