Abstract

The article analyses the changes and persistence of the inter-ethnic relations in the western Buenos Aires (Argentina) frontier with Pampa and North-Patagonia after the overturn of Rosas' government in 1852. To this end, it approaches Cristobal Carri-llang’s uprising and his leadership in the tribe of Rondeau (Cruz de Guerra and Mulitas, Veinticinco de Mayo), emphasizing the bonds, reasons and socio-political interests that intervened in indios amigos’ agency during all these years.
