Abstract
This article presents a study of the conflict between the campesinso and the indigenous (Mapuche) population that took place in the province of Cautín (Chile) during the cycle of social conflictivity the country experienced between 1967 and 1973. The objective is to review the traditional views that have prevailed on this topic in Chilean historiography, based on monolithic perspectives of the rural conflict. Through archival and journalistic documentation of the regional environment, it analyzes diverse manifestations of said conflict, from traditional expressions of campesino rebelliousness (cuatrerismo) to modern forms of collective mobilization (agrarian trade unionism), which makes it possible to observe the diversity, complexity and heterogeneity of said conflicts and their leading actors.
