Mapuches?


I think that for to begin to speak about the Mapuche’s situation is necessary make clear what we understand by Mapuche. Some people say that if you don’t eat ‘piñon’, and if you don’t live in a ‘ruca’ you aren’t mapuche. Others believe in the change and adaptation of the people to the new époques and that if the mapuche live in the city that isn’t a contradiction, and he can be considered as mapuche. But, what do you think???? Is the mapuche, in the currently times a Mapuche or is only a peasant???
For me this is a difficult question, I’m not sure about this. But this topic is very contingent and is discussing in all the fields of the society. And the question before raised is fundamental, because if you say that today the Mapuche don’t exist, that mean that you invalidate all their demands.
In the judge of the mapuche’s people there are interests of power, because to attend to the demands of this people affected all system created by the Dictatorship and keeping by the Coalition and the Piñera’s government.
I think that all the native people of this country feel that since the dictatorship their Human Rights have been violate. Now the violence isn’t only coercive, today the hegemonies use a cultural power for to attack this people. I think that the feeling of cultural death is general.
About the antiterrorism law I don’t know very much, but about the currently success I need to express my meet feelings with the president. How do you explain that the Coalition, in 20 years of government calling itself a left wing government did nothing with this law??? Only the falseness and a dirty consensus with the dictators can produce that. And now a facist comes and says: the antiterrorism law will be changed and we will open a table’s dialogue!!! I’m not sure about the problem will be solved only with that, and if a government of Right can do that.
I think that this politicians doing things that correspond to the contrary ideology is confused for me and all the population.

  4. I think the pure category in people, are nonexistent ... the feeling of belonging to a group does not have to do with having 100% blood, or living in a specific location, have to do with a culture.

    bye!
