Declaration of
the Mapuche people who do not surrender against colonization (now Chilean,
Spanish and Inca before) who still don't allow their freedom and sovereignty
"Our people
have been around for hundreds of years ... the first foreign incursion was from the Incas who could not extend their control beyond the river Copiapo ...
the Mapuches did not pay taxes to them as they pretended .. .Then came
the Spaniards who razed the main civilizaciones of America but could not do it with our
people ... after 100 years of struggle they had to "agree" with the
Mapuches (only example seen in the process of conquest) parliaments were broken by
the Spaniards themselves, but the Spanish crown respected our territory, and
recognized the Mapuche people as an independent nation ... then came the war of
the sons of the invaders (Chileans), in their desire to
have greater autonomy ... and 30 years later they tried to conquer our territory. On both sides of the Andes our people again raised their
spears but we were defeated ... the invaders took away more than 10 million hectares that
were given to German settlers, Italian, the troops taking part in the carnage
and who made an incredible fortune and who today has the largest fortunes in
this country. ., we were forced to change our names, not to speak our language, to sing their hymns, we were imposed their language, nationality ... they pushed us to poverty,
overcrowding, discrimination, ridicule, humiliation, hunger .. .but our mapu
encouraged us to continue and follow up ... when we began to get up, then the
military dictatorship came ... 300 dead and missing ... thjey again seized our
lands ... in democracy ... our people
remained discriminated and poor ... they say we are terrorists, they imprison and keep humiliating us ... BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER... WE HAVE OUR STRENGTH, WE WILL CONTINUE FIGHTING!!!!!! AMULEPE
TAIN WEICHAN !!!!! "
