A journey through Chile’s conflict with Mapuche rebel groups

Mapudungun is Chile’s largest Indigenous language, spoken by the Mapuche people for thousands of years. It carries their history, stories, and connection to Wallmapu — the land that gives them identity. Today, Mapudungun faces extinction. Colonization, forced displacement, discrimination, and the dominance of Spanish have threatened its survival. Preserving Mapudungun is not just about words — it is about keeping Mapuche culture, memory, and worldview alive. #Mapuche #Mapudungun #IndigenousLangu
