Abstract In this work we aim to address the question on the relationship between indigenous peoples and nature conservation, regarding the overlap between the territory of the Potae Napocna Navogoh community and the lands of the Pilcomayo River National Park (province of Formosa, Argentina). In particular, our purpose is to clarify the link between the development of protected natural areas and the production of an essentially differential indigenous subjectivity. To do this, we begin by examining the tension that manifests itself within the policy followed by the states (national and provincial) between the valorisation of capital and nature conservation. Then, we characterize the ways in which indigenous peoples are produced by the mentioned states in the provincial political scene. Finally, we study the case of the conflict resulting from the above mentioned overlap, based on the analysis of a meeting held in 2007 between the qom and various state agents.
