indigenismo

Indigenismo is a cultural and political movement that seeks to recognize, celebrate, and preserve the identities, traditions, and rights of indigenous peoples within a country. It emerged in Latin America as a response to colonialism and marginalization, promoting the inclusion of indigenous perspectives in national history, culture, and policy. While it aims to empower indigenous communities, it can sometimes be used to foster a sense of national identity or social cohesion by highlighting indigenous heritage. Overall, indigenismo advocates for respect and equality for indigenous peoples, emphasizing their importance to the country's collective identity.
