This text is a new reflection on the meaning of syncretism among the indigenous peoples of America. In contrast to the widespread view that these peoples are the clearest example of syncretism, the idea defended here is that indigenous societies have not formed syncretic cultures but that, rather, the different traditions (Christian and «pagan») present are clearly differentiated and fulfill distinct functions.Downloads
