An important paradigm in development thinking, participation remains vaguely and often contradictorily defined. This has allowed for its integration into a discourse that effectively disassociates it from deeper and more politicised understandings of power and empowerment. Focusing on indigenous peoples, this article reflects upon local autonomy as a critical and holistic alternative to depoliticised participation, reframing project development within a discussion of ‘life projects’ and ontological diversity, locality and globalisation and the right to self-determination, and contemplating a more profound engagement by the ‘development’ professional. Résumé Paradigme important dans la théorie du développement, la participation demeure toujours ambiguë et mal définie. Cela a facilité son intégration dans un discours qui la dissocie des notions plus profondes, notamment celles du pouvoir et de l'autonomisation. Ce travail, en se focalisant sur les peuples indigènes, traite l'autonomie locale comme une alternative critique et holistique à la participation apolitique, tout en replaçant la notion de développement dans le cadre d'une discussion sur “les projets de vie” et la diversité ontologique, la localisation, la mondialisation et le droit à l'autodétermination. Enfin, cet article discute d'un profond engagement d'un professionnel du développement
