Studies the relations between the chief (curaca) and Andean population, which recognized in him a different authority from that conferred by the colonial govemment. Native testimonies reveal the wealth and ethnic prestige enjoyed by chiefs, and certain specific cases are analyzed through memorials and evidence sent by them to the Crown in defence of their interests, although their trustworthiness is questionable. The chief is defined as a polyfacetio figure, functioning as ethnic administrator, colonial agent and instigator of uprisings.
