One of these larger alliances were the Coyunche from the plains of the Laja River. Due to the presence of the Spanish the Coyunche suffered a rupture: the levo north of the Laja River stayed under Spanish control while those to the south maintained a relative independence.

Antes de la llegada de los españoles a la región de Concepción, sus habitantes estaban organizados en agrupaciones socio-territoriales: los levo o rewe que se articulaban, en algunos casos, en alianzas mayores reconocidas posteriormente bajo la denominación de ayllarewe. Una de estas alianzas era la de los denominados coyunche de los llanos ribereños del río Laja. Con la presencia española los coyunche sufrieron una ruptura, los levo de más al norte quedaron bajo dominio español mientras que los del de más al sur se mantuvieron en una relativa independencia. Este trabajo presenta la evolución de los coyunche nortinos que fueron sometidos tempranamente al régimen de encomienda y analiza los cambios y vicisitudes que vivieron durante un siglo y medio de historia en el marco de este régimen de trabajo. Antes da chegada dos espanhóis à região de Concepción, seus habitantes estavam organizados em grupos socioterritoriais: os levo ou rewe, que em alguns casos formaram alianças maiores, posteriormente reconhecidas como ayllarewe. Uma dessas alianças foi a dos chamados coyunche, das planícies ribeirinhas do Rio Laja. Com a presença espanhola, os coyunche sofreram uma ruptura: o norte de levo ficou sob domínio espanhol, enquanto os da região sul permaneceram relativamente independentes. Este artigo apresenta a evolução dos coyunche do norte, que foram submetidos desde cedo ao sistema de encomienda, e analisa as mudanças e vicissitudes que vivenciaram ao longo de um século e meio de história no âmbito desse regime trabalhista.
