Abstract
El ejército de Bolivia ha sido la primera institución de las Fuerzas Armadas que ha incursionado en un proyecto que fue denominado de "inclusión social", y que después ha sido enmarcado dentro del proceso intercultural de las Fuerzas Armadas, con la idea de que, al incluir indígenas en el principal instituto de formación de oficiales militares, se daba paso a la interculturalidad defacto. El presente documento revisa la trayectoria y la relevancia que han ido adquiriendo los indígenas en la institución castrense, desde la exclusión y negación de lo indígena, pasando por una asimilación, hasta llegar al actual proceso que se podría denominar de inclusión, pero este proceso, ¿será el inicio de un proceso intercultural en las Fuerzas Armadas? o ¿será que es la continuación del proceso de asimilación indígena pero en rangos superiores? En el presente estudio, se hará una revisión de las etapas mencionadas y del actual proceso denominado de inclusión social, con el propósito de verificar si efectivamente se podrá contar en un futuro próximo, con generales de origen indígena.

This document reviews the history and significance that Natives have gained in the military institutions, from the exclusion and denial of indigenous, through assimilation, until the current process that might be called one of inclusion. But, this process, is it the beginning of an intercultural process in the military? Or, could it be that it is the continuation of indigenous assimilation, but in higher ranks? In this study we will review the above stages and the current process named "social inclusion", in order to ascertain whether you can count in the near future with generals having an Indian origin.
