description By late sixteenth century colonial rule in Southern Andes included processes of reduction of ethnic groups to pueblos de indios (native villages) and anincrease of the religious conversion by parish priests (curas doctrineros). The transformations among the native groups in 1570-1650 enabled new margins of action for three social actors that became knots of local power: the provincial governor (corregidor), the ethnic leader (cacique) and the priest. To examine the interactions between these authorities in the pueblos belonging to the corregimientos of Lake Titicaca we analyze some discourses elaborated by religious about their contemporary caciques: such as Fray Martín de Murúa, Fray Alonso Ramos Gavilán and Licenciado Pedro Vallejo de Velasco, whose offices where in the pueblos of Capachica (corregimiento of Paucarcolla), Copacabana (corregimiento of Omasuyos) and Caquiaviri (corregimiento of Pacajes), respectively, during the last decades of the sixteenth century andthe first half of the seventeenth century.

El dominio colonial en los Andes meridionales a fines del siglo XVI incluyó un proceso de reducción de los colectivos étnicos a pueblos de indios y una profundización de la conversión religiosa a cargo de los curas doctrineros. Las transformaciones de los grupos nativos durante 1570-1650 habilitaron nuevos márgenes de acción para tres actores sociales que configuraron nudos de poder local: el corregidor, el cacique y el cura. Para escudriñar las interacciones entre estas autoridades en los pueblos englobados en los corregimientos adyacentes al lago Titicaca abordamos algunos discursos elaborados por religiosos sobre sus caciques contemporáneos, como los de fray Martín de Murúa, fray Alonso Ramos Gavilán y el licenciado Pedro Vallejo de Velasco, quienes ejercieron sus oficios en los pueblos de Capachica (corregimiento de Paucarcolla), Copacabana (corregimiento de Omasuyos) y Caquiaviri (corregimientode Pacajes) respectivamente, durante las últimas décadas del sigloXVI y la primera mitad del siglo XVII. O domínio colonial nos Andes meridionais no final do século XVI incluiu um processo de redução dos coletivos étnicos em pueblos de índios e uma profundização da conversão religiosa na carga dos curas doutrinais. As transformações dos grupos nativos durante 1570-1650 permitiram novas ações maiores para três atores sociais que configuraram nudos de poder local: o corregedor, o cacique e o cura. Para estudar as interações entre essas autoridades nos povos englobados nos corregimentos adiantes do Lago Titicaca, abordamos alguns discursos elaborados por religiosos sobre seus caciques contemporâneos, como os de fray Martín de Murúa, frei Alonso Ramos Gavilán e o licenciado Pedro Vallejo de Velasco, que exerceram seus ofícios em os pueblos de Capachica (corregimiento de Paucarcolla), Copacabana (corregimiento de Omasuyos) e Caquiaviri (corregimiento de Pacajes), respectivamente, durante as últimas décadas do século XVI e a primeira metade do século XVII.
