Indigenismo in the United States

Indigenismo in the United States (Spanish: [indixeˈnismo]) is a nationalist ideology among Hispanic and Latin Americans, particularly Mexican Americans, which emphasizes the historical Indigenous ancestry of mestizos (Latinos of European and Indigenous descent). Indigenismo was a prominent aspect of 20th-century Chicano activism, with roots in Mexican nationalist state-sponsored Indigenismo policies dating to the 1920s.
