Abstract


The object of this article is to comprehend the fight undertaken by the legal indigenous attorney (apoderado indígena) for the defence of the lands wrested from the indians through the application of liberal policies in the 19th Century. These apoderados entered into political alliances with those elite faction that agreed to support their demands of land recovery. The success of the first alliance in 1871 was the landmark that opened the way to a later alliance with the Liberal Party in the 1899 civil war. It is also analyzed the mediation of the local powers that facilitated the encounter.
