ABSTRACT
El presente artículo fruto de una investigación histórico hermenéutica, procura resaltar cómo los indígenas han logrado en toda la trayectoria del moderno movimiento indígena aprovechar las oportunidades políticas que les ofrece el contexto para potenciar su identidad y en ella su movilización. Como en la recuperación de su identidad, la construcción como colectiva y sujetos políticos han ganado estatura y músculo político al confrontar su identidad con la de otros actores y con la del estado a quien disputan valores, derechos y respeto por su identidad. Han configurado el actor social de mayor prominencia y capacidad de convocatoria y esto es en últimos lo que les coloca en la vanguardia de la lucha social
This current article, a result of a historic-hermeneutic research, aims to highlight how the indigenous people have been able to, along the path of the modern indigenous movement, take advantage of the political opportunities offered by the context, in order to boost their identity and in it, its mobilization. As in the recovery of their identity, the construction as a collective and political subjects, have gained stature and political muscle by collating their identity with that of other actors and with that of the state, to which they compete for values, rights, and respect, for their identity. They have shaped the social actor of major prominence, as well as the capacity of summon, and this is what places them in the vanguard of the social struggle
