From an anthropological and historical perspective, in this paper we aim to focus on the issue of land communal possession in Amaicha del Valle (Tucumán, Argentina) and the role played by a variety native authority figures. Specifically, we are using the trips that these authority figures have made to various locations and at various points in time while acting as representatives of their Community's collective desire to “secure the land”. Thus, the general intention of this work is to rethink the experience of travel as a part of the repertoire of strategies that constitute the socio-ethnic reproduction of the Community. To this end, inspired by the regressive history methodology, we will analyse the trips taken by four leaders in a series of different historical and political contexts: the 2000s, 1990s, 1870s and 1800s.
