Modern applied anthropology in the United States was born in the context of a reform leaded by the Office of Indian Affairs (oia ). Our aim here is to offer an examination of the relationships between agents and institutions that were involved with applied anthropology in the OIA
during the John Collier administration. It was then
that an approximation to the modern notion of “indigenism†was born
a phase that represented the first systematic employment of anthropologists by a governmental institution in the United States. This matter is especially relevant for those scholars devoted to indigenism in Latin America
since the Inter-American Indian Institute was first conceived by Collier
as a clearinghouse for anthropological knowledge and practices regarding indigenous peoples of the Americas. indigenismo
