| Sumario: | This article presents a social, geographical, and temporal map of the encomiendas and Indian towns of Cordoba from the foundation of the city in 1573 to the expropriation of the lands belonging to the last indigenous communities that were recognized by the provincial state between 1880 and 1900. This reconstruction –whose starting point is a set of ethnohistorical questions, problems, and perspectives- is based on the comparison and systematization of information from a very rich and varied set of sources: visits, censuses, cadastres, lawsuits, and reports by authorities. Within a larger universe of Indians who were registered by the colonial administration in the seventeenth century, twenty-one cases are traced until the end of the period under study. The aggregations, dismemberments, transfers, and changes in nomination of encomiendas and Indian towns are discussed in more detail for the eleven cases of longer persistence, by relating these changes and continuities to the presence or absence of peoples in the record. Based on this tracing and the contributions of recent studies, this article suggests some clues that may help to explain the divergent trajectories of these peoples. |
