摘要：En este articulo historizamos la idea de indígena y la nocion de indigeneidad. Tratada como relación, y como formacion discursiva, y no como identidad, indigeneidad incluye no sólo a indigenas, sino tambien a quienes se identifican como no indígenas. Considerando las diferencias historicas locales -articuladas con formaciones de nación-Estado- explicamos la diferencia entre etnicidad e indigeneidad, la porosidad de las fronteras entre quienes se identifican como indígenas y quienes no lo hacen, las condiciones en que ocurre la indigeneidad en la diáspora contemporanea y los problemas del esencialismo indigenizante.
其他摘要：In this article we historicized the idea of indigenous and the notion of indigeneity. As a relationship, as a discursive formation, rather than as an identity, indigeneity involves not only indigenous people, but also people identified themselves as non indigenous. Considering the local historical differences -articulated with nation-states formations- we explain the difference between ethnicity and indigeneity, the blurredness of the boundaries between those who identify themselves as indigenous and who don't do it, the conditions in which the indigeneity in the contemporary diaspora happened, and the problems of the indigenizing essentialism.
