We examine individual land requests by ethnic chief Juan Maica, his son Mariano Maica and the “lenguaraz” (translator) Antonio Medina in 1861, in the midst of the liberal revision after the Rosas government towards the end of the confrontation between the State of Buenos Aires and the Confederation until 1862. We support the importance of considering jointly the relationship among arms, lands and politics in the frontier, especially in this military and institutional conjuncture. As we will try to demonstrate contrasting complementary published and unpublished sources, the case we originally analize allow us to point out the indigenous agency and the ethnic leaders´ actions in relation to the State under building and the Creole society, the knowledge and use of the normative frameworks to their advantage and the intermediary role of Sargent Juan Cornell. Moreover, we consider some similarities with indigenous´ land requests in other parts of the Buenos Aires frontier.
