Desde 1655 las acciones bélicas en la frontera araucana de Chile declinaron, predominando desde entonces los contactos pacíficos y la convivencia. En el presente artículo se analiza la estabilización e incluso el crecimiento de la población aborígen de la Araucanía a fines del siglo XVIII, su distribución espacial -división en cuatro Vutalmapus- y el proceso de aculturación y sedentarización. De esta manera se logra una mejor comprensión de la historia regional y de la incidencia de ésta en la historia chilena de esa centuria. La población aborigen entre Copiapó y Concepción constituía la tercera parte de la población total de dicha región a fines del siglo XVIII. La estabilización de la población aborigen y su crecimiento se debió al predominio de las relaciones pacíficas en la frontera araucana. El hecho de que una población indígena de tal magnitud no haya demostrado una actitud beligerante es un indicio de ... Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.

War at Araucanian frontier declines since 1655. From 1655 in advance, peaceful contacts and "convivencia" were the norm. This paper analyzes Araucanian population stability and growth at the end of the Eighteenth century and its spatial distribution -division in four vutalmapus- and the process of acculturation and sedentarization as well. As a result, there is a better comprehension of regional history and its influence in Chilean history. native population inhabiting the territory between Copiapó and Concepción was a third of the whole region at the end of Eighteenth-Centuty. Population growth and stability was due to peaceful white-indian relations along the frontier. The fact that a huge Indian population did not embrace warfare demostrates its progressive acculturation and sedentarization. Both issues influenced the life of Araucanian families. |
