By processing Census micro data from 10 countries in the region, we
answer several questions that can be categorized under the following
three main topics: a) spatial distribution trends of indigenous peoples in
Latin America, with emphasis on the urbanization process and the
spatial pattern of this population within selected cities; b) internal
migration of indigenous peoples, with emphasis on rural to urban
flows; and c) living conditions of indigenous peoples, with emphasis
on inequalities between urban and rural areas.
