The Uruguayan population has traditionally been considered "without Indians." After almost 150 years, in 1996 the population began to be questionedabout "ethnicity or race", which culminated in the 2011 Census. In this, 2.5% of the population recognized indigenous ancestry as their main ancestry,
and 5.1% declared that they had indigenous ancestors. These data are not consistent with those observed when studying maternal or autosomal genetic
ancestry (35 and 14% native contribution, respectively.The facts and processes that led to the invisibility of native people and their descendants are
analyzed from historical sources, and in particular, their geographical distribution and socioeconomic level. It is also analyzed the gender of those who
were integrated into the national society, and the lack of voice of women over a long period, since it was indigenous women that were integrated into
the national society.
