ABSTRACT
In 1994, an amendment to the National Constitution replaced the previous ethnocentric statement about indigenous people in Argentina. Recognizing ‘the cultural and ethnic pre-existence of indigenous peoples’, guaranteeing ‘respect for their identity, … the ownership of land’, and insuring ‘their participation in the management of their natural resources and other matters of their interest’ (art. 75, clause 17), this amendment has implications for indigenous participation in the management of their own cultural heritage, including human remains.
