In the province of Córdoba, a policy of dismantling the lands occupied by indigenous communities started to be implemented at the end of the nineteenth century. After the passing of two statutes in 1881 and 1885, the government of Córdoba started, after failed attempts, to initialize the disassembly of these lands. The aim of this paper is to analyze the process of private property construction by considering the articulation of local norms and the articles of the Civil Code. It then undertakes the study of the implementation of these provincial laws and the Civil Code in the community of Soto and attempts to show the different actors and norms that were implemented to build the legal category of private property.
