Abstract
IN Latin America of the present day there still survive, to a greater or lesser extent, some vestiges of the non-material cultural traits of its Indian forbears. In the so-called “Indianistic” nations (those which still contain a high percentage of their total populations which has been identified as Indian) such as Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, modern-day reflections of pre-Columbian culture, including concepts of land tenure, are of extreme importance. In other Latin American nations, where there are sizeable Indian (“ethnic” or “cultural”) populations, and where these Indians still maintain their own segregated communities, such as Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile, aboriginal patterns of tenure, somewhat modified by the centuries, are still evident.
