Abstract

After the conquest of the Inca empire by the Spanish soldiers, began a process of social articulation and government of the Andean space. In order to establish effective control over the territory, the Spanish elites negotiated with the indigenous leaders their new role in the emerging society. This article explores how the Andean caciques assumed this change and how they exercised their power mechanisms to consolidate, reconfigure and increase their status in the new colonial order.
