In the mid-eighteenth century began the process of colonization that originated the Colony of Nuevo Santander (present day Tamaulipas), a situation that generated and encouraged the resistance of its native inhabitants. The essay analyses its development in the province in a chronological order and identifies the aborigines who fostered it. The hypothesis here proposed is that the native resistance manifested itself with more force in the center-south and north of Nuevo Santander, and that, despite sharing certain characteristics with the native protagonists, it would be the cultural aspects that differentiated them which would influence the objectives of each one and the way in which the phenomenon behaved in those areas. Likewise, the attention that the viceregal authorities paid to the resistance in the northern part of the viceroyalty contrasted markedly with its counterpart, because the pacification of the northern border was defined as a matter of viceregal character. This study is rooted on a comparative method which analyses the information compiled within the indexes that record those acts of the natives in the center-south and north of the territory, which nourished tenacity. The analysis reveals that both the behavior and the dimensions that the two resistance processes acquired show significant differences, related to their impact, range, and to the way in which local and external authorities confronted the situation in both areas, a process wherein local interests yielded to national ones.
