Description
Summary:Since the conquest of America, the Spanish have used the movement of indigenous peoples to support the logistics of their expeditions. That is how many Andean Indians came to Chile. They settled and integrated, creating a migration that despite an initial uprooting, kept its diasporic conditions in generating a kind of re-ethnification of the Andean people. On the other hand, when faced with hostilities, natives with a greater consistency, the Spanish applied more radical forms of forced movement, such as kidnapping and deportation of the rebels, under a system of more or less legalized slavery. This happened, for example, with the “denaturalization” of the Mapuches of southern Chile. This paper accounts for the phenomena of forced movement, displacement, settlement and categorization of these Indian immigrants as a constitutive part of the Chilean colonial society.
