Conflicts between cultures ... truth and testimony

Abstract

The members of indigenous communities that were militarily defeated at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century
have gone through a slow and tortuous process in Argentina to be treated as citizens on an equal footing before the law. In this work, this process is
analyzed from the perspective of the testimonies of indigenous people to justice, when these were required and valued, even when they were contrary to those of other people in the society with greater relative power. The study of two cases that affected members of the pilagá ethnic group is carried out.
