Mapuches are
native people who are in the Chilean territory since a long time before the Spaniard
conquered South America. These people were very dangerous and warlike so it was
so difficult for the Spaniard to conquer them. However they did it in most of
the Chilean territory and for that reason the Mapuches are just in the region
of the AraucanÃa.
The culture
of these people is base in this language that is the Mapudungun and is just
oral because we can´t write in Mapudungun. In addition they have a ritual which
name is Machitun and is used to call the rain and to treat the sick, beside
they have a social organization based on the family, they believe in the old
spirits and their ancestors.
Now, they
are in the IX Region and they have many problems because they demand shore that
the state of Chile doesn´t want to deliver so now it exists a dispute for their
rights.
