Manuel Gamio
Manuel Gamio (1883–1960) was a Mexican
anthropologist,
archaeologist,
sociologist, and a leader of the ''
indigenismo'' movement. Although he rejected full sovereignty for indigenous communities in Mexico, he argued that their self-governing organizations, such as tribal governments, municipal organizations, and elected community leaders should be recognized and respected. He is often considered as the father of modern anthropological studies in
Mexico. He devised a well-known system for classifying the
hunter-gatherers of Central America.
