The Indian Press website I found this text on the situation of indigenous people in Latin American countries currently celebrate their independence:

Abya Yala: The Indians do not celebrate the bicentennial

Received Atencio López, September 14
says, rightly, that these nations were sovereign, thanks to the sacrifices of its people, paid with tears, hunger and blood, then treated worse than the natives that they colonizers. Their human rights were impaired.
A fragment that struck me: [...]
the genocide there in 1492 was much greater than the Holocaust of World War II [sic] , very few voices echoed this slaughter.
The article mentions my country, Mexico, as one of those who have failed to give the place they deserve the primitive natives. This remark offends me, the shame is not, however, that we point the finger, but that the accusation is unfounded. The fault is not who he says but at fault (and this is noted). In Mexico there is a hypocritical appreciation by ethnic origin and gave us their expressions, hypocrisy which has a function, mask the real disdain for what we remember not belong to races that have brandished the steering wheel in the world. (Who will doubt it, enough that we are indigenous kinship with a common ingredient for injury: "I saw the sandals", "to look Indian," "Indian starving, etc.). Daily facts come to light that reveal the marginalization in which they live our ethnic groups, as bias in the administration of justice [1] [2], exploitation bordering on slavery [3], extreme poverty, malnutrition and illiteracy among other hardships [4].
No independence or no revolution can be considered accomplished while there are social distinctions such as severe.
