Abstract
One of the more remarkable developments that took place in Latin America during the last two decades of the twentieth century was the emergence of indigenous peoples as new social and political actors and their implantation in the national consciousness of the region’s countries. The changing relationship between national states and indigenous peoples in Latin America mirrors to a certain extent the re-emergence of indigenous issues in international legal debates since the early 1980s. However, it is remarkable, considering that throughout most of their modern history the Latin American republics had practically ignored the indigenous component of their national identity.1
