This article addresses the resurgence of anthropological approaches promoting that states taking the initiative to establish direct and permanent relationships with indigenous peoples, or part of them, who live in isolation. It analyzes the context and the arguments used by the promoters of this position today, as well as the impacts that similar initiatives have had on indigenous peoples. In contrast, it exposes the historical process, the principles and the advances of the approach of respect for self-determination and for the territories of these peoples. Along these lines, it is committed to an anthropology that is respectful of the decisions of peoples in isolation about their way of life and the level of interaction they wish to have with the broader environment. At the same time, it raises the need to contribute to guarantee legal security and the protection of their territories, to implement preventive health measures and to put respect for their fundamental rights before personal, governmental, economic or other interests when making decisions that affect them.
