Mapuche are the largest indigenous group in Chile and have survived histories of colonialism, socionatural disasters, and more recently, increasing conflicts with the Chilean state. This study aimed to engage critical theories and examine resilience processes from indigenous perspectives while exploring the impact of racism, intersecting adversities, and ongoing decolonial struggles in Mapuche communities. Decolonial qualitative methods, situational analysis, and community‐engaged participatory approaches were utilized in application of a critical community resilience praxis (CCRP). First, an interagency collaborative entitled Mapuche Equipo Colaborativo para la Investigación de la Resiliencia (MECIR) was established. MECIR involved partnerships between a Chilean national research center for disasters, a nongovernmental organization of indigenous advocates/researchers, and a Mapuche community health center. MECIR completed semistructured interviews with 10 participants (N = 10) in addition to ethnographic observations. Four themes of resilience emerged: newen, “strength and spiritual life‐nature force”; azmapu, “ancestral systems of social organization and tribal law”; nietun, “cultural revitalization”; and marichiweu, “resistance.” Findings contribute to reconceptualizations of resilience from Mapuche perspectives while identifying culturally meaningful strategies for promoting racial justice and mental health equity. Results show benefits of CCRP in community psychology research in an international setting.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivos determinar los factores que están provocando la migración venezolana a territorio chileno, establecer cómo ha sido su inserción en el mundo del trabajo y revelar las causas del por qué seleccionan a la ciudad de Santiago de Chile como país destino para desarrollar su proyecto migratorio. A través de la aplicación de 50 encuestas en una muestra compuesta de 24 individuos de sexo masculino y 26 individuos pertenecientes al sexo femenino, se pudo determinar información valiosa respecto al perfil socioeconómico y condiciones de inserción en el mercado de trabajo chileno. En cuanto a los resultados, destacan la conformación de redes incipientes que en un futuro cercano podrían consolidar una comunidad trasnacional de venezolanos en Chile con fuertes vínculos con su país de origen.  The main purpose of the present research is to know the factors that are causing Venezuelan migration to Chilean territory and determine why they select Chile as the destination country to develop their migration project. Through the application of 50 surveys in a sample composed of 24 males and 26 females, it was possible to determine valuable information such as socioeconomic profile and conditions of insertion in the Chilean labour market. About the results, we highlight the formation of incipient networks that in the near future could consolidate a transnational community of Venezuelans in Chile with strong ties with their country of origin.
