This article analyzes the participation of the Arica and Tarapacá indigenous people in the political and legal systems, at a community level, during the Peruvian Republic (19th century). Based on documentary information, we discuss how the native people, locally articulate the political participation and the administration of justice when taking on civil positions (mayors, justice of peace, among others), as active members of a regional citizenship under permanent construction.
