Abstract

On this work we will review some of the first revealed strategies by the Pewenche groups of Alto Bío Bío to adapt to the reductional situation, characterized for the asymmetric relation between this groups with the Chilean major society, becoming an ethnic group or native group (indigenous community). In this paper it will be characterized and exhibited both intragroup and extragroup interaction levels.
