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.
