Sumario:In this article we reflect on the territorial conflicts and the process of ethnogenesis that a rural population of Santiago del Estero is going through. Based on a collaborative work with the Yaku Muchuna community belonging to the Tonokoté people, we propose to interpret the process of indigenous self-knowledge that involved a reconfiguration of identity based on a work of memory and resignification of (self) marks of aboriginality. Our main source is a socio-anthropological report worked together to support the historical use of the community’s territory through the construction of family genealogies and a social cartography complemented by interviews and archival work. We conclude that re-ethnicisation, beyond being presented as a strategy to defend the territory, brings into play memories as well as local uses and appropriations of the space claimed as an argument of its Indianness.
