Sumario:Between 1998 and 2010 a set of families recognized as Huarpes, residents in the province of Mendoza and San Luis, has been juridically inscribed as “indigenous communities”. This process has not been lived as an homogeneus movement. We notes that  we understand as three different ethnic trajectories: the communalization, the de-communalization and the non-communal trajectory. The goal of this article is to explore  the different modalities of organization   of the ethnic ascription and its articulation ways. Thinking the ethnicity as “event”, we propose the following hipothesis: the ethnic identifications draw different trajectories of “community life” among wich the communalization trajectory is only one.
