Mapuche Issue

The first thing I would like to say, is that Mapuches is bad spelled. If you analyze the word, you realize that there's no need for the plural, it would be like saying "peoples" when you're actually trying to say people, one people. Mapu means land, and Che means people. In fact, if you really think about it, we are all Mapuche, we all live over this very same planet, over this same land. Even if we didn't, most of us, Chileans, are Mapuche, or are sons, daughters, grandsons, grandaughters, grandgrandsons and grandgrandaughters... But it seems like there is a huge problem in the family, because most of Chilean people try not to think very much about these relatives. And I can't blame any of my mapuche relatives for not trying to think about our relationship, because my ancestors weren't really good to them. I think that Chilean people have a broken identity. But reconciliation is not easy, if we see in the news all the time the aggression between winka and mapuche. If you think about it, Winka aggression to Mapuche is a very silent one: For winka, mapuche do not exist, don't allowing Mapuche to live with the commodities that winka are used to, not allowing Mapuche live with the commodities they used to enjoy. To Mapuche is not that easy, they (or we?) can't pretend that winka do not exist, they attack them. And I am not saying that's bad, actually.
