God and the Devil on the border with the gentiles

Abstract

This reflection on the cultural border among Indians and White, in the 16thand 17th centuries, is based on the indigenous myths, on the letters and the missionaries' ânuas and on the summaries of moral theology. The Christians created a society, as a Christian space, where the Indians should be incorporate. The ones that remaind on the extemal space belonged to the demon's hostess and they should be converted or eliminated.
