Abstract

Studies concerning indigenous peoples in the Americas have grown notably in recent decades, though with diverse rhythms and featuring-specific conditions in different countries and regions.

I suggest that features such as overseas training, the use of foreign languages, publications in a second language, frequency and quality of contacts with foreign countries and international collaboration, are indicators that can provide insights into the extent of internationalization of this field. It is my hypothesis that there is not an internationalized field of indigenous studies as such, but rather regionally segmented circuits mostly defined by linguistic areas. The study covers, in a comparative manner, academics from countries such as Canada,
