This article analyses the indigenous movements in Bolivia and Chile, at the end of the nineties and beginning of the 21st century. Specifically, it studies the Aymara movement, some expressions of Quechua leaders and the Mapuche movement. It focuses on how movements, from different positions, debate the meanings of culture and tradition for the configuration of their political discourses. This process of politicization of cultural repertoires is analysed from the positions of organizations, leaders and intellectuals, considering the political and economic context of both countries. Finally, this document analyses the essentialism and anti-essentialism of movements.
