Sumario:In this paper we approach the process of resistance and adaptation of pueblosde indios (indian towns) of the jurisdiction of Córdoba in the Government of Tucumán, during the 18th century. We will particularly analyse two towns, San Marcos and San Joseph, presented here for a counterpoint study: both cases were defined in similar conditions but their history torn apart as the 18th century advanced. While San Joseph dealt with the defence of the jurisdiction’s oriental border, shaping a militia of indian soldiers, the town of San Marcos kept with constancy the entire amount of tribute and the numerical entity ofthe town. We analyse the specific situation of each one, in order to understand why San Marcos managed to kept the official recognition of its lands and its community, while San Joseph disappeared from the tributary Indian town records.
