Sumario:Colombia and the United States are multicultural countries. Within this context, the Colombian Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of the United States have analyzed Indigenous land rights, in their jurisprudence. This paper asks about constitutional tests used by those courts in this area. Besides, it seeks out prevailing theoretical model behind these methodologies. As a result, this document states that those judicial experiences are in various forms of multicultural model: while the Colombian experience develops the multicultural model by law and jurisprudence, the experience of United States is more pragmatic and less guarantor of diversity. Finally, this text calls to investigate new test to the defense of cultural diversity, from the intercultural model.
