Sumario:The following work tries to analyze the conflict that from the year 2014 involves the habitants of indigenous neighborhood called Namqom (Formosa province, Argentina) regarding to the state decision of relocated a uranium dioxide-processing plant. Since a territorial and political analysis reveals that the qom population do not engage in soil resources explotation in their territory, instead they stablish a wide relationship net among different beings where request, exchange and reciprocity adhere to a strict protocol. On one hand all these will lead us not to label these arguments as an environmental conflict, on the other hand to be alert on the likelihood of qom people to use environmental claims as a political strategy to set things in motion.
