naming the continent after a european colonizer has been seen by some civil society groups as problematic. in 1977, the world council of indigenous peoples (consejo mundial de pueblos indígenas) proposed using the term abya yala instead of "america" when referring to the continent. there are also names in other indigenous languages such as ixachilan and runa pacha. some scholars have picked up the term with a reference to the illegitimacy of colonialism.
