| Sumario: | 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.
