28 Corporate groups, cultural patterns, and collectivities might well survive in the long term, but, paraphrasing Thompson, people live (and die) in the short term. A historical study of many indigenous villages that exist today (though the definition and delimitation of such units is no easy task) reveals occasional periods of total abandonment of particular places and other times when a population has dipped to fewer than a dozen inhabitants. Linked to the question of survival is that of the continuity of the unit of analysis, be it village, cultural patterns, or ethnic group.
An initial debate within the Spanish state and church over the rights of infidels to dominium, which included the general issue of indigenous sovereignty and territorial rights, developed into more specific debates over property rights on a case-by-case basis in which space (particularly the distance between indigenous village and colonial agrarian enterprises) was a prime consideration. 56 Another arena of struggle concerned settlement.
Rather, each particular process that I consider had its own salient actors. Land acquisition featured struggles between indigenous communities and colonial agrarian entrepreneurs, though the former often comprised individuals or factions who allied with colonists, and the latter were themselves often bitterly factionalized. Tenure arrangements responded to changes at various levels, from community demography to the ideology of property relationships to patterns of overseas trade. Migration and place making in new locales was dominated by the actions of peasants who left their home communities, and much of the tension that resulted concerned the efforts— by hacendados, colonial authorities, and indigenous villages—to control the resources, particularly tribute and labor, represented by these mobile individuals.
