A research team in La Pampa Province compiled most of them and the rest was compiled during fieldwork in Bahía Blanca. The sources tell about different material and symbolic aspects generated by war. In them memory mixes up with identity issues, in other words the present and the past are linked. We have selected two narrative themes, "the lion's help" and the tale of cherufe in order to analyze symbolic aspects of this war. The first is about the alliance made by the lion and the ranqueles when the latter were expelled from their land and resettled to the south; the second, the tale of cherufe, refers to a talisman stone that enabled some ranquel warriors to resist longer the attacks of the army. Se analizarán testimonios sobre la "Conquista del Desierto" emitidos por narradores indígenas. La mayor parte de estos textos fueron recopilados por un equipo de investigación en la provincia de La Pampa, la otra parte fue recopilada en el marco de un trabajo de campo realizado en Bahía Blanca. Los documentos relatan distintos aspectos de las situaciones materiales y simbólicas generadas por la guerra. En estas voces la memoria se cruza con cuestiones identitarias, el presente se vincula de múltiples formas con el pasado. Seleccionamos dos temáticas narrativas que dan cuenta de algunos aspectos simbólicos de esta guerra: "la ayuda del león" y el cherufe. El león fue un aliado de los ranqueles expulsados de sus tierras y llevados hacia el sur, mientras que el caso del cherufe destaca la importancia de la posesión de una piedra talismán por parte de algunos guerreros ranqueles que lograron resistir durante más tiempo. Serão analisados depoimentos de contadores de histórias indígenas sobre a "Conquista do Deserto". A maioria desses textos foi compilada por uma equipe de pesquisa na província de La Pampa; os demais foram compilados como parte de um trabalho de campo realizado em Bahía Blanca. Os documentos relatam diferentes aspectos das situações materiais e simbólicas geradas pela guerra. Nessas vozes, a memória se cruza com questões de identidade, e o presente se vincula de múltiplas maneiras ao passado. Selecionamos dois temas narrativos que capturam alguns aspectos simbólicos dessa guerra: "a ajuda do leão" e o querufe. O leão era um aliado do povo ranquel, expulso de suas terras e levado para o sul, enquanto o caso do querufe destaca a importância da posse de uma pedra-talismã por alguns guerreiros ranquel que conseguiram resistir por um período mais longo. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/13207 10.34096/mace.v14i0.13207 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
