Bolivian Indigenous Movement
The Bolivian Indigenous Movement refers to the collective efforts of Indigenous peoples in Bolivia to assert their rights, culture, and land. This movement gained momentum in the late 20th century, advocating for political representation, social justice, and recognition of Indigenous identities. Key organizations, such as the Confederation of Indigenous Peoples of Bolivia (CIDOB), have played a significant role in these efforts.
In 2006, the movement achieved a landmark victory when Evo Morales, an Indigenous leader, became Bolivia's first Indigenous president. His administration focused on implementing policies that aimed to improve the living conditions of Indigenous communities and promote their rights within the national framework.
