In light of the urgent matters, expectations, and demands emerging from the present and calling contemporary ethnohistory into question, this article reflects on the challenges posed by an "ethnohistory of the present." The research approach has a twofold objective: assessing how ethnohistory can contribute to addressing the problem of territorial belonging, and proposing a series of guidelines for a case study on the history of the Salinas Grandes-Laguna de Guayatayoc Basin (the Puna in Jujuy and Salta, Argentina). The article proposes a history of the salt flat and its inhabitants based on the reconstruction and analysis of rituals, in and from different traditions, that manifested or manifest the sacred dimension of the salt flat in three different historical periods: the prehispanic and Inca period, the colonial period, and the Nation-states period
