Abstract	RESUMEN Los procesos desencadenados a partir del siglo XVI, consecuencia de la presencia europea en la region platense, han sido en general abordados desde una vision localista y bajo la perspectiva del “conquistador”, lo que muchas veces ha dificultado la comprension de los multiples aspectos involucrados. En lo que respecta a la denominada Banda Oriental , la region Este de lo que luego seria el Virreinato del Rio de la Plata, vemos la ocurrencia de manera decisiva, de factores particulares, que interactuan sobre los pueblos originarios del area, determinando situaciones y procesos, en muchos casos distintos, de aquellos observados en el resto de los territorios. Uno de ellos es la particular situacion de “ frontera ” de dicha area en constante litigio, armado o pacifico, entre los reinos ibericos. La sociedad indigena es involucrada deliberadamente en las contiendas y “transformada” directa o indirectamente a partir de los intereses en juego. Por un lado la explotacion esclavista sostenida desde el Brasil, siglo XVI, primera parte del siglo XVII, que involucra de diferente forma la region Este del territorio. Por otro, la situacion de “frontera” generada por los imperios actuantes, siglo XVII y XVIII, lo cual lleva a la configuracion de un area de exclusion, con una poblacion heterogenea, sin que se conforme un territorio “indigena” propiamente dicho, sino un espacio complejo de mestizaje, comercio, evasion, conspiracion, temas escasamente abordados a la fecha por la historiografia local. Palabras claves : Banda Oriental; Pueblos Originarios; frontera. ABSTRACT The processes triggered from the sixteenth century, as a result of the European presence in the River Plate region, have generally been approached from the local vision and perspective of the conqueror all of which has often hampered understanding of the many aspects involved. With regard to the so-called Banda Oriental – the eastern part of what would be the River Plate Viceroyalty- we can see the decisive occurrence of particular factors that affects the native peoples in the area. As a consequence of their influence we can appreciate certain events and processes, specific in many cases which differ from those observed in the rest of the territories. One of them is the particular situation that exists in the borderland as a result of the continuous succession of armed or peaceful disputes between the Iberian kingdoms. In this way the indigenous society is forced to take part of the struggles and transformed direct or inderectly by the overcoming stakes. On one hand, slavery supported by Brazil in the XVI and the early XVIII centuries, a fact that involves the eastern part of the territory in a different way; on the other hand, the situation of the borderland imposed by the acting empires in the XVII and the XVIII leads to the configuration of an exclusion area with an heterogeneous population that could not result in a proper Indian one, being just a complex miscellany of miscegenation, trade, evasion and conspiracy, topics that have hardly been addressed so far by the local historiography. Key words : Banda Oriental; Native Peoples; border studies.
