Categories, negotiation and conflict: “montaraces” and “reducidos” Indians on the northern border of Santa Fe (1857-1864)

  • Francisco Mora

Abstract

During the decades 1850 and 1860, the Argentine Government tried to advance on the indigenous territory of the southern Chaco. Through an analysis of military and missionary reports, mainly from the border of north of the Santa Fe province, we will follow the path of various indigenous actors that the national and provincial governments considered, alternatively, as allies and/ or enemies. We seek to identify the political strategies pursued by the latter and link them to the classification categories present in the documents, as we hope to reveal social and political dynamics of indigenous peoples that official records tend to conceal.
