What Indigenism Stands For

In Latin America the term first named early twentieth-century state policies linked to Manuel Gamio in Mexico, the Peruvian José Carlos Mariátegui and the 1940 Inter-American Indigenist Congress in Pátzcuaro, which sought to integrate native peoples into the nation. Indigenous leaders later criticized that approach as assimilation and built their own movements, from Bolivian Katarism to Ecuador's CONAIE (1986). Their demands advanced in ILO Convention 169 (1989), the 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Bolivia's 2009 constitution, adopted under Evo Morales, which created a Plurinational State. Ideas such as buen vivir and the rights of nature link it to environmental politics. Compared with Zapatismo, it also works through elections and the state. Compared with eco-socialism, it centers peoples rather than class.
