Objective:

To show what we consider the three key consequences of the shared land endowment decree that in 1970 politically created Desemboque and its annex Punta Chueca and definitively established the Comcáac in the territory they currently occupy.

Methodology:

This is based on the documentary compilation, as well as, the conceptual analysis of "struggle", the application of interviews with traditional authorities and Comcáac residents and field trips carried out in the period 2018-2021.

Results:

They show a series of problems related to the reduction of the Seri ancestral territory, the links with the old accesses to water and the presence of struggles for water.

Limitations:

There is a lack of testimonies from Comcáac residents who participated directly in the legal process of the ejido endowment of 1970, since this would enrich the understanding of this complex historicallegal process of the Seri people.

Conclusions:

The territorial endowment of 1970 originated two stages of social construction of water scarcity, one institutionalized, which would have repercussions in the beginning of struggles for new access to water in the mid-1990s and which would increase their degree of violence in the second modern stage represented by the different desalination projects. of 1999, 2003, 2008 and 2014. Finally, the supernaturality provided by the ancient accesses to water was gradually lost and forgotten by the generations born after 1970.
