The construction of the legal entity of indigenous, a free vassal but rustici, miserabiles personae, perpetual child in need of protection, will result on a central concept in the shaping of the colonial society. His distinct status and prerogatives that flow from him shaped a particular use of justice across various spheres: ethnical authorities, the Cabildo, the Government and the Royal Audience. On the last decades, the New Law History provided theoretical tools to rethink power relationships and the authority for making justice during this period, based on jurisdictional culture. The analysis of case files from archives of San Salvador de Jujuy Court, the National Archive of Bolivia and from National Libraries of Bolivia will allowed us to rethink about the connections between different instances of justice and which possibilities it implies for the native populations of colonial Jujuy in the context of its membership to the Royal Audience of Charcas. |
