Feeling standing on the elbow. Readers are not just looking at anthropologists as follows

There are 36 amazing 36 indigenous cultures / ethnic groups (all in their own language) in Bolivia, and the new Constitution created in 2009 recognizes the country as a "multi ethnic country". Legal and colloquial definitions of "multi-ethnic countries" are also confusing, but most of the people I talked to claim that recognizing the culture of many indigenous peoples is an improvement of the new constitution Did. These 36 race arches are two very unique traditional lines along the geographical lines of Las Straslas and Las Strasbourg. Broadly speaking, las tierras altas consists of two major indigenous culture (Aymara and Quechua) derived from the Andes culture. Because the legislative and judicial capitals (La Paz and Sucre) are located in the highlands, these cultures have the greatest impact on the country.

Bolivia is a diverse country of 36 different kinds of indigenous peoples. More than 62% of the population of Bolivia belongs to these various smart groups and is the most primitive country in Latin America. Among indigenous peoples, Aymara and Quechua islands are the largest group. The latter half 30% of the population is part of European and indigenous mixed race and mixed race. The political government in Bolivia has approved multicultural politics, and in 2009 the Bolivian Constitution was blessed with multicultural principles. The "Bolivian Constitution" recognizes 36 official languages ​​in addition to Spanish, each with its own culture and indigenous community. The culture of Bolivia is popular throughout the country and is strongly influenced by popular culture from Latin America such as Aymara, Quechua, Spain.

Indigenous peoples of South America are designed to enhance their regional and global influence. For example, in 2009, Bolivia adopted an important new constitution. It guarantees the political representation of indigenous peoples, recognizes the form of their community property and gives them the right to use indigenous judicial system. The Ministry of Education of Bolivia is expanding its native language curriculum. President Morales, President of First Indigenous Peoples in Aymara Indians, is essential for increasing the vast majority of Bolivian indigenous peoples.
