colonial societies. The article also studies the attempts of the colonial

interethnic dynamics constantly changed. The colonial contact zone was a place
of negotiation, but also a place of struggle, where the indigenous subjects
constantly challenged the conquerors' aspirations. Struggle and negotiation were
not mutually exclusive as forms of interaction. Violence and threat of it were part
of the negotiation process. The interethnic conflicts were a dynamic force through

from several colonial archives, including demographic, judicial, and
administrative documents, looking especially for clues revealing indigenous
agency in colonial society.
