| Sumario: | 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. |
