| Sumario: | This paper aims to contribute to the conceptual debate regarding the social categories used by indigenous and criollo populations living in protected areas in the Patagonia region, southern Argentina. Specifically, it focuses on analyzing the characteristics of the so-called “dwellers” (pobladores) of the Nahuel Huapi National Park (located in the provinces of Río Negro and Neuquén), particularly those who were granted the "Precarious Occupation and Grazing Permits" (henceforth PPOP, for its Spanish acronym). This administrative category was created by the National Parks Office (later renamed “Administration”) to designate pre-existing inhabitants who lacked property titles but were precariously recognized by the institution (in contrast to others who were gradually evicted). The paper examines the characterization of these pobladores, as well as the dynamics and changes over time, aiming to link their portrayal to the analytical debate surrounding this category, which is widely recognized among regional identities. |
