Abstract

The Uruguayan Charrúa population has been organizing since the late 1980s in search of state recognition and the reconstruction of their indigenous identity. Despite this, the State continues to deny official recognition of their identity in the country and has not ratified ILO Convention 169. One of the hypotheses about the difficulty of obtaining state recognition is the evidence of non-authenticity, such as the fact of moving and living in predominantly urban spaces or not speaking a native language. Starting from the idea that Charrúa recognition is part of long-range processes, we problematize different levels that led to decreeing an early indigenous "disappearance" in the country. In a second moment we analyze aspects of the self-recognition process and we end with the progress of the current Charrúa organization and its main achievements.
