This article explores the construction of Nicaraguan folklore through the lens of inter-American indigenismo. The analysis shows that indigenous folklore occupied an ambivalent position between uplifting heritage and backward alterity in mid-20th century discourses of the Inter-American Indigenist Institute as well as in Nicaragua, where distinct colonial histories shaped different modes of representation in the western and eastern regions of the country. These representations contributed to the inequalities embedded in national visions of mestizaje, and their residues can be traced in more recent discourses on indigenous culture
