This work aims to reflect about heritage, indigenous people and authenticity in the promotion of “development with identity”. Currently, these approaches play a leading role in heritage management at the international and national levels. Based on anthropological research that I am developing in the province of Salta, in the north of Argentina, I aim to consider how preservation and authenticity are delimited in the implementation of these perspectives, which practices they involve and how indigenous people appropriate, recreate and challenge these notions. I consider that the novelty around the notion of authenticity refers to norms and values which permeate this notion in terms of a new moral shape, related with the delimitation of the authentic in terms of respect for cultural diversity.
