English Summary: Dr. Miguel Leon-Portilla, Director of the Inter- American Indian Institute, analyzes in this article the bases, trajectory and activities of Inter-American Indianism that, in his opinion, imply taking stock of the integral reality, economic, social and cultural, of the past and present of the Indians living on the continent. It can be said that from the first years following the arrival of the Europeans there have been various extraordinary figures who attempted to understand the meaning of the clash of cultures and tried to find, with a humanistic criteria, ways to achieve improvement in all phases of the Indian groups. But it has not been until our century that the Indian problem has been linked to the concept of and necessity for national integration and has received new attention from the integral point of view postulated by the anthropological sciences that have recently made their appearance. In 1948, at the VIII Pan American Conference held in Lima, Peru, the first step was taken toward the preparation of a program based on the anthropological sciences, in which direct attention was paid to the continental Indian populations. One consequence of this orientation was the I.Inter-American Indianist Congress |
