Abstract


This article explores the strategic ways of Indian participation during the process of independence in Charcas (actual Bolivia), between 1809-1825. It shows that Indian population basically fought to keep their land and to secure the autonomy of their own authorities, during this political crises. In this sense, they established alliances, conspired, organized uprisings and openly involved themselves in guerrilla movements molded by their own political culture.
