| Sumario: | The purpose of this paper is to find out the senseof atypical Mapuche marriages -a case of patrilateral marriage and several polyandries- during the construction of two moieties of Chilean Indians located in Buenos Aires' frontier in the second third of Nineteenth-Century. Alternative hypothesis were managed in order to find the one that could fit to reconstruct an appropriete marriage system that expresses the history of a moiety. That was an ethnographic job held from a wide ethnohistorical approach. Marriages were manipulated in order to build an elite within a non-state society. The conclusion is that those atypical marriages had a peculiar political meaning that helped to consolidate dominant familiar groups in both moieties. |
