During the regime of New Spain, a political phenomenon was gestured in the indian towns, the emancipation of the subject towns from their heads of republic. The objective of this article is to make visible, based on archival sources, the processes of claiming to seek a higher political status or to separate and configure new heads of the republic of indians in seven towns in the Sierra Cuicateca of Oaxaca during the period from 1668 to 1771. These towns have their origin from the pre-Hispanic period as estancias of the old cuicateco lordships, under said category they transited as subject towns after the conquest, to the republic of indians, without having any figure of authority or officials of the republic.
