Abstract
The participation of native peasants in colorful independence due to factors, which depended on the specific type of relationships that each indigenous group had with the Creole society, the authorities and proindependence sectors or those who supported the restoration of monarchical order and the degree of restraint or maintained autonomy in relation to colonial power in the context of its collapse and the specific needs of communities. We focus on indigenous groups in the south of the Guajira peninsula known as the Guajira Down for two reasons: one, because it was in this area that showed the most marked miscegenation between Indians and Creoles, and secondly because little sources reflect the actions of the natives in the extreme north of the peninsula, the Guajira Arriba.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
