Authors

Abstract

At the present article the origin and development of a religious association that
is introduced in La Tirana festivity in 1938 called “pieles rojas” is analyzed. It
is interpreted based upon varied categories such as adaptation, translation and
appropriation. Also it includes the reason why the Redskins have been included in a
religious and popular festivity settled at Atacama desert. It is stated that the presence
of the dancing group “chuncho” can be regarded as a previous step to the formation
of this north american dancing group. We emphasize in the creative personality
of the funder: Aniceto Palza Pizarro. He organizes a new religious dancing group
causing, at that time, a breakdown that to present it is perceived as part of the regular
development of this religious manifestation of Northern Chile.
