Abstract
We will analyze in this paper the testimonies and sentences included in the judicial prosecution against the widow and son of an indigenous leader of the «great rebellion» of 1781-1782 in the province of Sicasica (Upper Peru). They had taken his place after his death and managed to keep the valley population of this province in rebellion, even after the execution of Tupak Katari. The mentioned source is in section IX of the AGN, Buenos Aires, and, through this analysis, we intend to approach the communal political system—election of authorities and office succession, cacique and minor authorities' representativeness—and the political, social, and economic articulations between different communities in the Aymara region.
