Sumario:This article analyzes the resistance practices of subalternized groups, the Chuschagasta and Tolombón communities-people, which aim at legitimizing their collective life form in the context of territorial conflicts. Specifically, I look into how these groups have reframed practices of sowing, cattle raising and their material culture through ceramic craft. These territorial practices have been historically delegitimized by dominant sectors –land-owning families and the state system- because they are characterized by a community-collective organization of space and of social-cultural relations, both based on their native-diaguita worldview. The ideas developed in this article are the result of ethnographic research that started in 2015 among these two indigenous diaguita communities-Peoples from the Choromoro Valley (current province of Tucumán, Argentina), who are the object of constant hostility and overriding of their indigenous rights.
