    • Abstract:
      In the name of what have been identified and counted the American Indians ? This paper is based on census carried out in 2000 and 2001 in the United States, in Mexico and in Bolivia. Describing some of the battles induced by the Indians' reckoning, the authors emphasize their indissoluble links with politics and public policy. Basically they suggest that categories such as ethnicity and culture - who seems to be great scientific strides - have changed census into traps as they introduce wrong classifications, back up preconceived opinions and may give rise to conflicts.

    • Abstract:
      Au nom de quoi identifie-t-on et compte-t-on les « Indiens » dans les Amériques? Cet article se fonde sur les recensements effectués en 2000 et 2001 aux États-Unis, au Mexique et en Bolivie. En décrivant quelques-unes des batailles provo-quées par le comptage des Indiens, les auteurs soulignent leurs liens indissolubles avec des enjeux politiques et suggèrent que des catégories comme l'ethnie et la culture - qui marquent apparemment un progrès dans la connaissance - ont transformé les recensements en pièges introduisant des classifications abusives, renforçant les préjugés et provoquant éventuellement des conflits.
