Abstract: This article shows how organizations and projects in contemporary Indigenous communities are structured around imaginaries of a desirable future. Here the idea of utopia suggests potential, enabling an understanding of the effects of reaffirming ethnic belonging within the community. The concept of utopia as a guide to the future is discussed with regard to its limits, reach, and explanatory power as a category. The empirical subject matter is forty years of experience of a Purépecha community that has been fighting for recognition.
