Abstract

The colonial history of the family has been mainly written taking into consideration multi-ethnic urban villages, and downplaying the specific dynamics observed in rural indigenous populations. Based on marriage information from the doctrines of Belén and Codpa, I analyze the peculiarities of everyday life in the Indian villages of the chiefdom of Codpa as it relates to the cycle of life and the configuration of the family.
