Through an exhaustive documentary investigation with an ethnohistorical perspective on primary, manuscript and published sources, is abording the indigenous boga category, its self-perception and its relationship with the new administration from the first contacts in the 16th century, to the transition between centuries and its definitive replacement by rowers of African origin during the first decades of the 17th century.
