The Mapuche: People of the Earth

Mapuche: Earthman Mapuche, also known as Araucano, is said to be the first group of people in the south of the Biobio River in Chile. Through archaeological excavation, their culture dates back to 2000. They were indigenous, originally living in southern Chile and its nine districts. They have an advanced society, impressive art, and people are skilled warriors. The leader they called toqui was the highest chief of the war and his power was characterized by stone covered ax.

The resistance of Mapuche for many years was known primarily as the Arauco war and was eternal in the epic "La Arukana" by Alonso de Elsira. These indigenous peoples have defeated the most powerful country on Earth. The Maputier Army employs various military strategies and tactics that surprised the invaders with wisdom, creativity and determination. It is widely documented by Spanish historians. The loss of Spanish soldiers and resources in this war is greater than the loss of all other conquests throughout the United States.

In the morning of August 1, 2017, Maldonado protests against the resistance of Mapuche and blocks the road. The Mapuche were ancient indigenous people who had occupied this area before Spain invaded South America and they worked hard to recover what they thought they belonged to. Since January, Mapuche has boycotted Argentina's Gendarmerie's attack and the government is trying to eliminate them from what they consider themselves an area of ​​their ancestors: "Prussian of the Cusa". "Maple" 'rof' is a basic unit of social organization, so "pro" is roughly translated as "territory".

In some of the eighth and ninth provinces, the majority of the rural population is the Mapuche tribe. However, most Mapuche people live mainly in the city of Chile in Concepcion, Temuco, Santiago. Today, less than 20% of Mapuche people are proficient in their native language (Mapuzungun). The community leader (llongkos) still plays an important role in the social structure of Mapuche, so is the respected authority that has invested in special healing abilities. The celebration of nguillatún (a ceremony that the community appreciates the soul) is still common in Mapuche, traditionally limited to rural areas, but now celebrated by many urban communities. Today the maptier organization is very obvious in the national political arena. Most people reject the separatist agenda and are ready to negotiate with state agencies
