| Sumario: | In this paper we analyze the hegemonic narrative about the indigenous peoples which are in the museums of the former military commands, based on the framework of War Minister Adolfo Alsina’s strategy of advancing the frontier. These commands have become cities located in an area we call the last frontier of Buenos Aires, which most significant brand, the Alsina trench, would be established as the ultimate limit against the indigenous societies and the prelude to military campaigns known as the Conquest of the Desert (1879-1885). This regional space currently has a number of historical museums that make up a story about the indigenous peoples, the military campaigns undertaken for their submission, and about the local and national origin. Discussed here are the Puan and Trenque Lauquen cases, with special emphasis on the analysis of historical accounts that museums exhibit and have managed to crystallize in the collective imagination, as well as those topics never considered, among which the submission and subsequent trajectories of the aborigines of the region become the most notable example. |
