Abstract
This article provides historical analysis of ethnic boundaries and tribute relations in the Lake Titicaca region, focusing on the ethnic composition of the Uru (Uru-Chipaya) and the meanings of identity to tribute collecting agents of the Spanish Crown. Because of their low status compared to demographically dominant Aymara neighbors, the Uru were subjected to higher per capita tribute burdens in the form of fish, clothing and labor service.
