Chilean Government to Make it All Better for Mapuche __ "Last August 5 a ceremony took place where the president of Chile, Eduardo Frei, invited one thousand Mapuche leaders to La Moneda, the presidential palace in Santiago, to announce a 3-year investment plan of approx. 570 million NZ dollars (140 billion pesos) to answer to the urgent demands from Mapuche communities. Only two months before, the same president had refused to meet with the leaders of a Mapuche march which had been on its way on foot from Temuko to Santiago (over 700 km). The one thousand invited leaders however, were brought to La Moneda on comfortable buses."

Communique from the Mapuche Exterior Committee __ "The new indigenous law of 22
March constitutes yet another antidemocratic and demagogic attack on fundamental
rights by the Chilean military government. A collectivity has been denied the
fundamental right to participate and decide on measures affecting it...the Mapuche Indian who accepts individual ownership of his land ceases to be
considered a Mapuche, which shows that the purpose of this law is to put an end
to the existence of our people." A brief but important historic document from
1979. -

The situation according to the Mapuche organisation Xeg-Xeg __ "The problem of
the Mapuche people is a socio-political and a territorial one, combined with a
with a loss and weakening of the culture. Without diminishing the communication

others the indigenous peoples of America and Chile have had to withstand, it is
pertinent to obtain some of the background underlying the present situation,
where the Mapuche people are dominated and prostrated." an excellent resource. -
