Amerindian majority lands

[TheForeigner]

What countries and regions of Latin America are still majority Amerindian?You hear a lot about mestizos, but the region still has a huge Amerindian population too and some self declared mestizos are just Indians who lost their identity.

Brazil would be excluded from this discussion, since it is probably majority triracial mixed race or pardos(brown).

Bolivia, Peru and Paraguay, they're only slightly mixed

Paraguay is majority Mestizo

and Tarija and Santa Cruz de la Sierra in Bolivia are majority Mestizo also

I think some regions of Bolivia, Peru and some Countries in Central America are majority Amerindian

In North America northern parts of Canada, parts of Alaska, part of Nevada and neighbouring states in the USA. Indian reservations throughout the USA.

Parts of Mexican California. Large parts of Central America.

We can also distinguish culturally Amerindian and genetically Amerindian lands. For example in Peru and Bolivia a lot of people are genetically fully or almost fully Amerindian but speak only Spanish and identify culturally as Latino or Mestizo.

On the other hand in North America many mixed people identify only with their Amerindian side.

Paraguay is mostly harnizo (60-70% Euro range, and the rest Amerindian) with significant amounts of castizos (people who are between 75-85% Euro and the rest Amerindian), and whites.

Is many light years from being like Peru and Bolivia. Is more like something in-between a mostly Amerindian country as Bolivia and a mostly Euro country as Argentina. And I would say a bit closer to Argentina, because its overall Euro input is higher than its Amerindian input.

Paraguay has absolutely nothing to do with Bolivians. mostly mestizos/harnizos. In fact i saw a genetic study some days ago and the paraguayans were all harnizos.
