Özet: The article examines the invasions of cattle belonging to whites and mestizos and their affectation in the fields that the natives had within the northeastern reservations of the New Kingdom of Granada in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This was an expression of the complex inter-ethnic relations woven around those territories occupied by the natives and an irrefutable proof of the porosity of the borders between these spaces and the external world characterized by a high density of free population. Protected by the protectionist policy designed by the Crown, the affected indigenous people did not hesitate to assert their rights and resort to legal remedies to demand due compensation and, in an extraordinary way, they were authorized to take the corresponding reprisals through the possibility of seizing and disposing of intruders. In other cases, it was also possible to observe some initiatives for formal agreements between the parties.
