Argentina was no exception of this, the construction of the national politics has the base in the historic memory on a series of events -truly milestones- that were defining the way of this construction. This important facts mixing in a univocal stamen help us to understand the emergency and consolidation of a white nation and a European culture, but at the same time the participation of the aborigine community in this events has been totally erase, and systematically silence. This official stamen of the history are clearly in the collective memory and evolve in the learning of the history of our country in all the levels of our education system but never the less the alternative politics that were developing in this years still today are consider actual mean while the aborigine community still fight to reach to get there part and to incorporate them into the national history stamen.
