Abstract

This article reviews the critical path towards the recognition of indigenous peoples in El Salvador from colonial protection laws, through the abolition of such regulations, to the laws of extinction of communal lands during the nineteenth century. Subsequently, the genocide of 1932 and the amnesty granted to the perpetrators as well as the recognition of the rights of indigenous peoples in national and international law in the early years of this century is mentioned. The article concludes by listing the steps to take with indigenous communities to change their reality and to achieve intercultural vision as a country.
