Mapuche
The Mapuche people are the largest indigenous people in Chile.
With a population reaching nearly a half a million people, they
still maintain their language, Mapudungun, and large part of their
culture, characterized by familiar and religious bonds, which
identify them as a real nation. Before the Inca expansion, the
Mapuche people occupied the entire Central Valley zone. Under
the pressure of the Atacameño people from the north, they were
partially retreated to the south. The Mapuche people resisted the
Spanish conquest and dominance longer than any other
indigenous people in America Their resistance was based on the
defense of their land, or mapu. The people, Che, was organized
in a fragmentary system stood for the autonomy of their clans and
of their social units organized upon their territory and culture. The
lack of a central political authority, due to the fact that power was
placed in the hands of local chiefs and wide territorial locations,
worked as an obstacle for the Spanish invasion and against the
of the conquest.
