Abstract


This article presents the results of research on the Indians known in hispanic manuscripts and archival documents as Ossa or Osas. At the time of the effective occupation of the argentine northwest, this small group was located in a valley east of the Humahuaca Canyon along with other population groups self-identified as the Ocloya, the Paypaya and the Churumata. The article seeks to portray, on the basis of the greatest possible number of historical sources, the events which followed the concession of these Indians in encomienda or repartimiento, and the implications for them in terms of displacement and the other changes experienced. The aim is to describe the process of ethnic disintegration which the Ossa Indians underwent as a result of the establishment and consolidation of the colonial system in Jujuy.
