ABSTRACT
In this article we set out to demonstrate, based on the attitudes of two indigenous persons, distant from each other in time and opposite in their manifestations, the evidence of various cultural norms that persisted despite the fact that these natives lived in different colonial contexts. Having identified these cultural norms, we point out the existence of different possible protagonisms in the colonial world, through subjects who also make evident their intermediation and negotiation with the colonial world.
