At the end of1930 the Mexican Government in Michoacán opened a new stage indigenistpolicy aimed at integrating this sector to the national society. The institutional practice that derived, also meant an innovative attempt to incorporate indigenous peoples to the corporate structure of the State post-revolutionary. However its hegemonic claim, this proposal found its counterpart in another driven by the Catholic Church. In Michoacán from early 20th century in the context of a renewed social Catholicism, lay and prelates promoted an indigenous apostolate committed to their cultural roots. In various ways continued this ecclesial indianismo found in recent times with the institutional side and the dissident (pro-autonomic).
