The destruction of Corpus Christi Fort Indígenas y europeos en el Paraná Inferior, siglo XVI. La destrucción de Corpus Christi Indígenas e europeus no Baixo Paraná, século XVI. A destruiçãode Corpus Christi Green, Aldo Gastón Lower Paraná indigenous societies interethnic relations Paraná Inferior sociedades indígenas relaciones interétnicas Baixo Paraná sociedades indígenas relações interétnicas This paper studies the relationships established between indigenous peoples and Europeans during the first half of the 16th century in a section of the Lower Paraná river known as the Timbués marshland. Drawing on chronicles and documents of the time, we first explore the socioeconomic characteristics of the native groups in the area, paying close attention to their diversity and dynamics. This helps us determine how these factors influenced the forms of contact with the westerners and how the indigenous societies were affected by these interactions. We observe a gradual increase in tensions over the two and a half years the Europeans were settled there, and we focus on the destruction of Corpus Christi fort. We seek to explain this outcome by contrasting the logics and interests of both communities. En este trabajo analizamos las relaciones establecidas en la primera mitad del siglo XVI entre indígenas y europeos, en un sector del Paraná Inferior conocido como estero de los Timbúes. A partir de crónicas y documentos de la época abordamos en primer lugar las características socioeconómicas de las agrupaciones nativas de la zona, atendiendo a su diversidad y a su dinámica, para determinar de qué manera influyeron en las modalidades de contacto con los occidentales y cómo se vieron afectadas por este. Observamos un aumento gradual de la tensión a lo largo de los dos años y medio en que estos estuvieron asentados allí y nos centramos en la destrucción del fuerte de Corpus Christi, desenlace cuya explicación buscamos en la contraposición de lógicas e intereses de ambas colectividades. Neste artigo, analisamos as relações estabelecidas entre povos indígenas e europeus na primeira metade do século XVI em um setor do Baixo Paraná conhecido como Estuário dos Timbúes. Utilizando crônicas e documentos contemporâneos, abordamos inicialmente as características socioeconômicas dos grupos indígenas da região, com foco em sua diversidade e dinâmica, para determinar como eles influenciaram as formas de contato com os ocidentais e como foram afetados por isso. Observamos um aumento gradual da tensão ao longo dos dois anos e meio em que se estabeleceram ali, e nos concentramos na destruição do forte de Corpus Christi, um resultado cuja explicação buscamos nas lógicas e interesses contrastantes de ambas as comunidades.
