“…Conversely, the wide distribution and high frequency of the subhaplogroup D1g described for Chile and southern Argentina (Bodner et al,2012), and the relatively lower incidence in the populations of central Argentina described in this article, indicate an opposite direction of migration. The absence of lineage D1j in the Mapuche of Chile is very interesting as it highlights the heterogeneity of a group of populations that has traditionally received a common name, precisely since the arrival of the Spanish (Boccara,1999; Nacuzzi et al,2008). These results point toward the need for caution about some common‐sense assumptions, from whom some groups of populations that inhabit certain geographic areas are labeled under a common cultural denomination, regardless of the particular history that define each of these populations.…”

We analyzed the patterns of variation of haplogroup D1 in central Argentina, including new data and published information from other populations of South America. Almost 28% (107/388) of the individuals sampled in the region belong to haplogroup D1, whereas more than 52% of them correspond to the recently described subhaplogroup D1j (Bodner et al.: Genome Res 22 (2012) 811-820), defined by the presence of additional transitions at np T152C-C16242T-T16311C to the nodal D1 motif. This lineage was found at high frequencies across a wide territory with marked geographical-ecological differences. Additionally, 12 individuals present the mutation C16187T that defines the recently named subhaplogroup D1g (Bodner et al.: Genome Res 22 (2012) 811-820), previously described in populations of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. Based on our results and additional data already published, we postulate that the most likely origin of subhaplogroup D1j is the region of Sierras Pampeanas, which occupies the center and part of the northwestern portion of Argentina. The extensive yet restricted geographical distribution, the relatively large internal diversity, and the absence or low incidence of D1j in other regions of South America suggest the existence of an ancient metapopulation covering the Sierras Pampeanas, being this lineage its genetic signature. Further support for a scenario of local origin for D1j in the Sierras Pampeanas stems from the fact that early derivatives from a putative ancestral lineage carrying the transitions T16311C-T152C have only been found in this region, supporting the hypothesis that it might represent an ancestral motif previous to the appearance of D1j-specific change C16242T.

“…Yet Article 14 prompts an alternative reading – along the lines proposed by Marimán – mainly because of its reference to the ‘four Butalmapus’. Butalmapu (or fütalmapu ) is a Mapudungun word, first appropriated by colonial authorities in the seventeenth century, meaning ‘large lands’ or ‘large territory’ (Boccara, : 432). As a collective military response to Spanish presence, Mapuche society organised itself around these loose confederacies, which corresponded to different ecological or geographical areas within Mapuche territory; Lafkenmapu , for instance, was the land of the Lafkenche‐Mapuche people on the coast (Pichinao Huenchuleo, : 28).…”

“…As outlined by Guillaume Boccara (), Jorge Pavez (), and Christian Martínez Neira (), Mapuche society in the early nineteenth century was highly fragmented. During the colonial period, an increasingly smaller number of lonkos (caciques or leaders) took control of increasingly larger geographical areas.…”

Troubled Negotiations: The Mapuche and the Chilean State (1818–1830)

This paper explores the complex, dynamic relationship that developed between the Mapuche and Chilean state authorities in the first decades following independence from Spain. The greater part of Mapuche society supported royalist forces during the independence wars, but there were also several leaders who allied themselves with the patriot insurgents and, after the latter's victory, entered into negotiations with the fledgling Chilean republic. This paper investigates the intricacies of these negotiations and, in so doing, draws out some notable continuities between the colonial period and the early independence era. It focuses on the language(s) of negotiation -delving into what Mapuche and Chilean authorities were saying about and to one another -and on the symbolic significance of the parlamentos (mass-meetings), in order to demonstrate that Chile could have adopted an alternative model of government to the (centralist) one we know now.

“…Before the invasion of Mapuche territories by the Chilean army at the end of the 19th century, land tenure consisted in a complex set of collective and individual rights to land. The main form of grouping in Mapuche society at this time was the lof , a local kin group under the authority of the lonko , the headman of the dominant lineage (Boccara ). Lonko were in charge of distributing usufructuary rights to local residents (Faron :51; Pinto :85), who used the land primarily for husbandry and to a lesser degree for agriculture.…”

The becoming of ancestral land: Place and property in Mapuche land claims

If Mapuche land claims in southern Chile reflect the incommensurability of local notions of place and the legal principles of property, they also reveal intersections between indigenous and legal ontologies of land. Property languages and technologies allow claimants to frame knowledge about ancestral territory in ways consistent with local significations of place as a sentient agent. Yet they also serve as mechanisms for codifying indigenous geographies in terms congruent with existing property regimes and market configuration. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's notions of becoming, I argue that understanding ancestral land formation requires an anthropological imagination that acknowledges the conceptual antagonism of state and indigenous geographies as well as their intersections in claimants’ actions.
