La política indígena hispano-chilena post-jesuítica estuvo marcada por el pragmatismo de los nuevos dirigentes promovidos por el régimen borbónico, destacándose la figura del emigrante irlandés AmbrosioO’Higgins. Su accionar en la frontera mapuche conllevó una dosis de racionalismo ilustrado conjugado con pragmatismo. Esto se manifiesta en cierto reconocimiento de los modos de ser y actuar del indígena nosometido en aras de lograr la meta superior de convivencia pacífica, sin la cual no podía haber prosperidad y comercio fronterizos. La intensa actividad de negociación y de mediación del período que va de 1771 a1803 quedó reflejada en las actas de los parlamentos hispano-indígenas realizados. Este artículo se introduce en dicho período y analiza las particularidades de las relaciones hispano-mapuches y de la políticaindígena a partir de la figura de O’Higgins y su incidencia en los parlamentos y en el cuerpo de mediadores que actuaron.

description Post-jesuit spanish-chilean indigenous policy was marked by the pragmatism of the new authorities promoted by the bourbon regime, among which the figure of Irish immigrant Ambrosio O’Higgins standsout. O’Higgins’ actions at the mapuche frontier are to be understood as an expression of his rationalism and pragmatism, which resulted in a certain degree of recognition of the modes of existence of insubordinatemapuches, as a means of attaining the ultimate goal of peaceful coexistence -without which the frontier trade and prosperity would not have been possible. The intense negotiation and mediation activity duringthe 1771-1803 O’Higgins mandate is reflected in the Hispano-indigenous frontier parlamentos carried out during that period. This article approaches the period in question by analyzing the particularities ofHispano-Mapuche relations and indigenous policy from O’Higgins’ perspective, and his influence on both the parlamentos as well as the team of mediators that took part in them.
