Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, conflicts and clashes between different powers in the border territories of America did not stop growing. And each of the participants in that colonial race sought native allies to use them as military support units. But the different European nations also needed information for their possible actions, and misinformation for their rivals. Among the most obvious examples of this dynamic is the vast territory of Louisiana. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A close reading to Pineda and Bascuñán's Cautiverio Feliz, undoubtedly, would wake us a series of asociations, not only with other forms of historical literatura from the epoch, but also with other works that integrate some elements such as: kinds of speech structure and kinds of instrumental profiles. In this sense, reading Pineda's work would lead us to Castiglione's El Cortesano, because many of the characteristic of the perfect gentleman presented in El Cortesano, are inserted in some characters of Pineda's work. It is not strange to find in El Cautiverio, among other things, the qualities of a perfect gentleman, shaped on the natives, virtues, virtues that also adorn some creole and old spaniards.

This article explores how informal indigenous slave communication networks developed and were maintained in sixteenth-century Castile, as men and women served as witnesses or sources of information for those indigenous slaves initiating lawsuits to gain their freedom. Based on dozens of lawsuits in the section Justicia of the Archive of the Indies (Seville, Spain), I argue that the distinct oral communication channels formed by indigenous men and women living in different cities and towns of Castile constituted an important element of litigation suits, before, during and after a sentence was reached or the lawsuit ended. In the heart of the Spanish empire -Castile- slaves and freedmen and women inside and outside of the legal "courtroom" engaged with legal discourse about what it meant to be identified or to identify oneself as an indio (person of the Spanish Indies).

The article approaches the social representations on national identity and migrant "culture" build that build teachers and members of the judiciary in Argentina, making visible the cultural "racism" that runs through such representations and relationships of conflict between natives and migrants, linked to access to rights. For the analysis were employed focus groups and individual interviews made to such institutional actors in Buenos Aires during the years 2008-2014. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This contribution is due to the perplexity of banning the natives of the overseas provinces become part of the judiciary during the 1st Republic, although the Organic Decree of 25th October, 1870 organizing the judiciary overseas had allowed it. On the score of this episode, this work tries to reflect on the sense of the recovery of these veto and arguments of Indian Law for the colonies precisely during a revolutionary and liberal context in the metropolis.

In 1836 Governor Juan M. de Rosas is supposed to have ordered the execution of 110 pampa Indians in the main plaza of Buenos Aires city. This is what the anti-Rosista fiction argued: The "Tyrant" had executed indigenous peoples in order to cause terror on the Unitario opponents. Was this event a product of a political fiction? Or was it a true massacre of aboriginal peoples? The essay tries to respond to these questions, using both new archival sources, the testimonies provided at the trial of Rosas after his fall, and other secondary sources. At stake is the puzzling interaction or overlapping of historical and fictional narratives in the history of post-independent Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The scant contributions about the population evolution of Tabasco (Mexico) since the conquest years to the end of the seventeenth century, added to the reluctance to accept the figures and results of the studies realized so far, have forced me to analyse in detail this subject. There have been detected some mistakes in the interpretation of the documents used for this analysis, the same ones used here. This is the reason to deserve a reanalysis. Consequently, I will examine the evolution of the different groups of inhabitants, such as indigenas, Spaniards, mestizos, negros and mulatos. The knowledge of the precise numbers of people will make possible a better understanding of the administrative marginality in which these people lived throughout the period studied.

It explores the presence and role of the concerns proper of post-colonial approaches present in the novel. It comes in evidence, how Mamita Yumai behind this economic politic approach of condemnation, as a global hierarchic context in which its plot is organized, allows us to glimpse the existence of a diversity of ethnic groups, nationalities and identities that converge in an exotic Costa Rica, far away from the one made by the imaginary plateau and that in middle of its ami- imperialist rhetoric, allows us to sense that in the fight against foreign and native plundering won't be achieved an effective integration of popular forces, if the specific nature and barriers that such diversity implies, are not overcome, respected and comprehended.

This article discusses the relationship between the Argentine government and the indigenous population living in the Río de la Plata viceroyalty from the 18th century until the Argentine Revolution beginning in 1810. It examines the social and economic activity of the people in this region, as well as the labor conflicts that arose during this time period. The author analyzes the influence of these labor and civil rights conflicts on the natives' participation in the revolution, using historical documents, newspapers, and laws written at the time.

The present investigation aims to summarize some geographic-cultural notions about the formation of the United States, inferring strategies in the main actions of territorial occupation. In accordance with the foregoing, it is expected to determine the main symbolic structures in religious and political tools that amalgamated to immigrants and forged a new nation, giving it a distinctive cultural pantheon, which attempt to extrapolate in the territory.

This study focuses on textile production in the Central Plateau of the Province of Chubut (Patagonia Argentina). This kind of textile production is similar to the one practiced by the ancient inhabitants of the Patagonia region, which is described in historic documents of the 16th Century. Using a combination of ethnographic and historical research methods, I study the main characteristics of current textile production in the Patagonia region, and how these are firmly rooted in the past. In this paper I discuss the technical and instrumental details of textile production, how it is transmitted through generations, and its importance for the economy of the families who practice it, both in the present and in the past. I also examine how identity is created in the process of textile production. I adopt a structuralist perspective on the analysis of textile production, and I depart from a primordialist and static concept of culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on urban and rural Indian insurgency against Spanish colonial rule in early 19th century Mexico. The authors consider the urban rebellion in the city of Queretaro and the rural uprising the the Huasteca region and discuss how the Spanish authorities kept these groups from joining forces. They also comment on the commercial and personal relationships between rural and urban Indian groups and reflect on the causes of the fragmentation and defeat of the Indian uprisings in 1811.

This article deals with the means of adapting a world of beliefs, fundamentally based on religion, which came from Spain, to the cultural situation found in the indigenous social order. This process of cultural adjustment was not without conflict and crises of adaptation, but finally it meant the process of creation of a folk culture where religion had a decisive role to play.

The gender, environment, and development approach proposes the study of women's fights and obligations toward natural resources, as well as institutions and property relations that govern the access to such resources within specific socio-environmental contexts. From this viewpoint, this paper studies the fishing activities of native women and men from Veracruz, Mexico, focusing on two processes: the gender construction of the fishing arts and the gender socialization in fishing activities. This paper shows that both processes make women specialize in certain water resources, which are important to securing feeding to their communities. An environmental policy with a gender perspective will be able to visualize woman roles in food provisioning, and to strengthen their control over the resources they currently manage, based on the environmental knowledge women have about them.

The selk'nam's extinction generated a controversy regarding its causes within the Salesian Congregation. The evangelization and civilization process of the selk'nam began through the creation of the Nuestra Señora de Ia Candelaria reduction in 1893 by Monsignor Fagnano. In this reduction the natives seeked protection from the fueguino landowners' pursuit and murder. The murders, the spread of new illnesses to which natives were not immune and the cultural impact of the reductional system caused the selk'nam's extinction. The Salesian missionaries, responsible for the reduction process, analyzed the causes of this extinction. They stressed that tile slaughters carried out by tile fueguinos and the violence perpetrated by local authorities were time main causes of population decrease, while recognizing the impact of the reduction system in the local culture. The next generation of Salesians revisited the sources. They dismissed the violence as a major cause of the extinction in favor of physiological and cultural causes. Their purpose was to cover tile role of the Braun Menéndez Behty landowner families—sponsos to the Salesians—in this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The supplying of salt in sufficient amounts was one of the main concerns of the Town hall of Buenos Aires. This was a product of vital importance not only due to its usage in daily meals, but also because of its application in the conservation of the meat and leather. Such features, and the difficulties to obtain it, increased not only its commercial but also its strategic value. The discovery of local deposits allowed the inhabitants of Buenos Aires to supply themselves through periodic expeditions that were promoted by the authorities, which allowed them to exert a greater control on this production. Since the activity required an important manual labor and cargo capacity, it was a practice that many took advantage of to be employed and to obtain benefits with the commerce that was generated by such opportunity. This turned the expeditions to salt mines -organized by the authorities of the city- into great caravans that went into indigenous territory, involving a wide set of social actors from the countryside and the indigenous world.

The checklist of earthworm species of Colombia and the patterns of distribution are presented. Data was obtained from collections made from 1872 to 2002. The information come from sporadic taxonomic registers and from some systematic studies conducted in hydrographic basins and savanna regions; both highlight the high diversity of the Andes mountainous areas. Most collections (93.2%) were carried out in the Andean region. The Colombian Oligochaeta comprises 113 species placed in nine families, 30 genera and six subgenera, of which 90 are native and 23 exotic. Most of the species are endemic of the Glossoscolecidae family. Andiodrilus is represented by the greatest number of species (25), while Martiodrilus with 19 species shows the highest habitat diversity, including forests, pastures and even the páramo. Only two species of this family were cosmopolitan (P. corethrurus and O. elegans) currently inhabiting anthropic environments. The species of the other families, excepting Tumak hamenni and Dichogaster medellina, were eurytopic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
