About the List of Peoples

This list of “Peoples” has over 4,000 names used to refer to Indigenous Peoples, and a small number of terms that refer to Cimarrón and Afro-descendant Peoples. A comparative analysis of Indigenous legislation in 14 Latin American countries generated an initial list of 457 names of Indigenous Peoples (as of 2022), to which 256 Peoples from Brazil were added. The initial list was expanded with the names of Peoples found in other sources and in the map collection.1 Different spellings and names that over time refer to the same People are associated. The list is a search tool for content and maps, but not a definite list of Indigenous Nations. In fact, some labels in historic maps are racist and repugnant. They are reproduced such that those maps can be searched, contextualized, and studied. We invite you to write to us at dia-team@upenn.edu with your comments or questions.

About the Peoples’ Coding Team

The task of listing and grouping the names of Peoples, as derived from the current legislation of Latin American countries, with those found in the maps database, and associating them by different spellings, as well as by Peoples’ names that have changed over time, has been a complex and a collective effort. The following individuals participated, in order of responsibility and involvement:

  • Belén Unzueta

  • Tulia G. Falleti

  • Sergio Carballido Murcio

  • Javier Ardila

  • Laura Pensa

  • Charlotte Williams

  • Brian Daniels

  • Lucia Stavig

SOBRE POVOS

Esta lista de “Povos” contém 4.239 etnônimos, ou nomes usados ​​para se referir a alguns dos povos indígenas e afrodescendentes das Américas. Foi construída em três etapas. Primeiro, uma lista inicial de 713 nomes de povos indígenas foi elaborada a partir de documentos legislativos e outros documentos relevantes de quinze países da América Latina. Em segundo lugar, incluímos todos os etnônimos sugeridos pelos colaboradores e encontrados em nossa coleção de mapas, que se concentra em mapas da América Latina e do Caribe. Esta etapa resultou em 10.865 nomes, alguns dos quais são altamente questionáveis ​​e provêm de mapas coloniais. Em terceiro lugar, diferentes grafias e nomes usados ​​para se referir aos mesmos povos ou a povos relacionados foram combinados para tornar nossa ferramenta de busca mais fácil de usar. Assim, ao inserir o nome de um povo, outros nomes relacionados podem ser sugeridos. Na aba Mapas, você pode baixar a lista completa de nomes de povos em nosso site, mas lembre-se de que esta não é uma lista definitiva ou completa.
