In 1781 , Tupac Katari led a large-scale uprising of the indigenous people laying siege to the city centre of La Paz which , at the time , was occupied by Spanish settlements . This anti-colonial movement symbolised an affront to the established power and as a result , Tupac Katari was captured before being killed .
