"Politica Indigenista en America Latina," Anuario Indigenista, XXIX (December, 1969), pp. 17-27. English summary: Indianist policy appeared when the Imperial nations of Europe established in America exploitation colonies later inherited by the dominant group which emerged when the colonies gained independence. The colonial population, or national in its case, evidently always had an attitude and action pattern toward the native population. Nevertheless, from this necessary antecedent, it is more common to designate as Indianist policy the one formulated in the 20's and 40's of this century as a direct consequence of the liberation forces directed to the improvement and development of the indigenous groups that, in Mestizo America, constituted an important part of the rural population. Then, Indianist policy extended to literature, the arts and other fields, and became an important as well as comprehensive movement. Indianist policy of an economic and social character directed towards development and integration of native groups has as its own features that of belonging to the general policy of a nation and, at the same time, a specified policy designed by the agencies in charge of the resolution of this problem in each country. The redistribution of land, internal colonization, literacy campaigns, and teaching of native languages, agricultural extension, communication among refuge regions, urbanization, etc., affecting Indian populations as well as non-Indians are a part of a general national policy. Development programs in the community and regional development, whether or not of an integrated character, are carried on by institutes and other Indianist agencies. Both types of policy are necessary and complementary; but doubtlessly as the goal of development and integration is closer and closer to the overall achievement or paramount achievement, policy will acquire greater importance.
