Abstract
Las relaciones establecidas entre
misioneros franciscanos y caciques de la Selva
Central peruana no estuvieron exentas de
dificultades y de situaciones ambivalentes.
Desde el principio, estas relaciones
desembocaron en situaciones cordiales que
contribuyeron al éxito de las misiones y a su
extensión hacia otros territorios, pero también
podían volverse súbitamente conflictivas.
Franciscanos y caciques de aquellas etnias
tuvieron que prestarse a una nueva diplomacia
que garantizara sus intereses respectivos: los
franciscanos conseguían el control religioso, y
los caciques locales conservaban la autoridad
frente a sus pueblos y ganaban aliados ante
amenazas externas
The relationships established between Franciscan missionaries and local ethnic caciques of the Peruvian Selva Central were not without difficulties and ambivalent situations. From the start, these relationships led to cordial situations that contributed to the success of the missions and their extension to other territories, but they could also suddenly become conflictive. Franciscans and local ethnic chiefs had to lern a new diplomacy that guaranteed their own interests: the Franciscans gained religious control, and the local chiefs retained authority over their people and gained allies against external threats
