The civil cornmunal property was highly rooted to the idiosyncrasy of the Indians at the time of the Spanish arrival in America. At first, this was supported by the legislation OS the Indian law, not only by respecting the necessity of communitarian goods by the natives, but also as a source of commonwealth for the new neighbors of the city of village.
