The indigenous population, its spatial distribution and the acculturation process in La Araucanía (17th and 18th centuries). The recount of 1796

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 pr...

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.
