On April 19, 1940, the First Inter-American Congress of Indian Life was held in Mi-

choacán, Mexico, summoned

by the then Mexican President,

Lázaro Cárdenas. It was pro-

posed to celebrate Indigenous

People’s Day in the Americas on

this date "in tribute to the first

assembly in which the Indige-

nous took direct intervention

in the discussion of their prob-

lems," with the aim of perpet-

uating and highlighting the im-

portance of the native peoples

of the Americas, who imprinted

the first cultural features of our

history on the continent.

Countries of the Pan Amer-

ican Union attended this meet-

ing with representatives of vari-

ous native tribes and chieftains

of indigenous cultures across

the continent to analyze their

current situation and build a

common front. This meeting

had as its main objective to

fin a way to overcome these

groups’ marginalization. As a

result, the Inter-American In-

dian Institute was created in

1942, which reports to the Or-

ganization of American States.

The institute’s function is to

coordinate the indigenous poli-

cy on the continent.

The axes that make up this

Atlas (First Inhabitants, Cultur-

us the continuity between past,

present, and the importance

of knowing and respecting our

Original Peoples who are “a link

identifies us as people of the

Americas"
