Abstract

The following article refers to the socio-cultural reconfiguration process of indigenous people from central valley, using the indian village of Huenchullami as center of analysis. In this sense, and through a microhistorical approach, phenomenons such as the mixture of races and the landowner advancement over the community are considered, delving into the mechanisms of integration and exclusion that facilitated the identity and ethnic changes. The sources used are primarily records from the Capitanía General (General Captaincy) and the Real Audiencia (Royal Court) as well as records from the Parroquia de Curepto (Curepto Parish).
