Indigenous mapping is a powerful political tool for long‐marginalized populations to create visibility and establish land claims. In the case of Argentina, a country that was built on a denial of the presence of Indigenous peoples in the national territory, the emergence of these maps stemming from participatory processes coincided with the recognition of these communities' territorial rights in 1994. However, this mapping of Indigenous territories freezes extremely dynamic and complex socio‐spatial realities just as it inflects their representations. In this paper, I reassess the weight and the role that Indigenous cartographic representations play in the evolution of these populations' spatial capital. Paradoxically, they give rise to more contradictions than they clarify. These paradoxes demonstrate the varied relationships different generations maintain with their territory, just as they concern its structure and its cartographic form. Therefore, based on the case of the Wichí of the Argentinian Chaco, this paper contributes to the understanding of contemporary issues of indigeneity by adopting a critical approach to Indigenous cartography. Whereas in Argentina cartographic knowledge is undergoing a process of decolonization, this does not apply to the legal system or to society as a whole.

固定领土，是一个转折点：阿根廷查科维奇地图的悖论

土著制图是边缘化人口创造可见度和确定土地所有权的有力政治工具。以阿根廷为例，该国建立在否认土著民族在该国领土上的存在的基础上，这些地图的出现是由于参与性进程而产生的，这与这些社区在1994年的领土权得到承认是同时发生的。土著领土制图冻结了极其动态和复杂的社会空间现实，就像它改变了它们的表示方式一样。在本文中，我重新评估了土著制图表达在这些人口的空间资本演变中的权重和作用。矛盾的是，它们引起的矛盾比他们澄清的要多。这些悖论表明，不同世代与其领土保持着各种各样的关系，就像它们关注其结构和制图形式一样。因此，本文基于阿根廷查科维奇人的情况，通过采用批判性的土著制图方法，有助于对当代土著问题的理解。尽管在阿根廷，制图知识正在经历非殖民化的过程，但这不适用于法律制度或整个社会。
