This study examines indigenous regulations in Latin America, identifying diverse regulatory systems in the region and areas where political will has influenced state legislation. Three normative systems are proposed and examined across Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, and Venezuela. Through a qualitative documentary analysis, a predominance of dispersed or semi-condensed systems is observed in the region, reflecting political influence in regulations concerning land, territories, and natural resources, as well as the proliferation of norms. These findings highlight varied state approaches to indigenous regulation, demonstrating a complex relationship between state authority and indigenous rights.
