At the end of the 1990s, several indigenous claim groups emerged in Uruguay, the only country in South America together with Suriname, which, by not signing Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization, does not certify the presence of indigenous groups on its territory. On the other hand, the Uruguayan historiography had elaborated an image of the autochthonous population at the time of the conquest and of its later miscegenation that is articulated with the new nation. The study of this construction, visible through the study of artistic, cultural and intellectual expressions, allows us to identify several steps. The current indigenist identity claims are inscribed in a new framework, in which the notions of ethnicity, memory and history have known substantial changes, without ceasing to rely on the national identity construction. This text presents milestones of the doctoral research in anthropology presented at the University of Paris III-Sorbonne Nouvelle, in January 2014
