This paper analyzes Araucanian population stability and growth at the end of the Eighteenth century and its spatial distribution -division in four vutalmapus- and the process of acculturation and sedentarization as well. As a result, there is a better comprehension of regional history and its influence in Chilean history. native population inhabiting the territory between Copiapó and Concepción was a third of the whole region at the end of Eighteenth-Centuty. Population growth and stability was due to peaceful white-indian relations along the frontier. The fact that a huge Indian population did not embrace warfare demostrates its progressive acculturation and sedentarization. Both issues influenced the life of Araucanian families.

This paper analyzes Araucanian population stability and growth at the end of the Eighteenth century and its spatial distribution -division in four vutalmapus- and the process of acculturation and sedentarization as well. As a result, there is a better comprehension of regional history and its influence in Chilean history. native population inhabiting the territory between Copiapó and Concepción was a third of the whole region at the end of Eighteenth-Centuty. Population growth and stability was due to peaceful white-indian relations along the frontier. The fact that a huge Indian population did not embrace warfare demostrates its progressive acculturation and sedentarization. Both issues influenced the life of Araucanian families.  Desde 1655 las acciones bélicas en la frontera araucana de Chile declinaron, predominando los contactos pacíficos y la convivencia. En el presente artículo se analiza la estabilización e incluso el crecimiento de la población aborígen de la Araucanía a fines del siglo XVIII, su distribución espacial -división en cuatro Vutalmapus- y el proceso de aculturación y sedentarización. Así se logra una mejor comprensión de la historia regional y de la incidencia de ésta en la historia chilena de esa centuria. La población aborigen entre Copiapó y Concepción constituía la tercera parte de la población total de dicha región a fines del siglo XVIII. La estabilización de la población aborigen y su crecimiento se debió al predominio de relaciones pacíficas en la frontera araucana. El hecho de que una población indígena de tal magnitud no haya demostrado una actitud beligerante es un indicio de un proceso progresivo de sedentarización y aculturación que influyó en la idiosincracia de las familias araucanas. Desde 1655, as ações militares na fronteira araucana do Chile declinaram, com contatos pacíficos e a coexistência predominando. Este artigo analisa a estabilização e até mesmo o crescimento da população indígena da Araucanía no final do século XVIII, sua distribuição espacial -divisão em quatro Vutalmapus- e o processo de aculturação e sedentarização. Isso proporciona uma melhor compreensão da história regional e seu impacto na história chilena durante aquele século. A população indígena entre Copiapó e Concepción constituía um terço da população total daquela região no final do século XVIII. A estabilização da população indígena e seu crescimento se devem à predominância de relações pacíficas na fronteira araucana. O fato de uma população indígena tão grande não demonstrar uma atitude beligerante é indicativo de um processo progressivo de sedentarização e aculturação que influenciou as idiossincrasias das famílias araucanas. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/13128 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
