“…The territory was divided in reservation lands and redistributed to nonindigenous buyers, and although multiple actions have been recently taken by the Chilean State to repair the inflicted harm, these policies have proved insufficient. Clashes have occurred between the demands of indigenous people and industrial (hydroelectric and forestry) interests (Carruthers & Rodriguez, 2009; Mella Seguel, 2007; Richards, 2010; Simon & González, 2010). Mapuche activists have used a number of strategies to claim for land and resource rights, ranging from peaceful demonstrations to the occupation of land and the setting on fire of property of private companies and landowners (Skjævestad, 2008).…”

“…Nowadays, Mapuche people face discrimination in multiple ways: They are poorer than nonindigenous Chileans (Agostini, Brown, & Roman, 2010; Skjævestad, 2008) and have lower education levels (Cantero & Williamson, 2009). They are stereotyped as being lazy, rude, violent (Saiz, 1986; Saiz, Rapimán, & Mladinic, 2008), and prone to conflict (Simon & González, 2010), and both Mapuche and nonindigenous people in Chile display implicit negative attitudes toward this minority group (Haye et al, 2010).…”

“…identity, autonomy, dominion over territory; Ponte, 2004;Gaete, 2012). In other words, the categorization of native peoples as "ethnic groups" makes it clear that political rights are not recognized and the problems associated with the domination of territory are not resolved either (Simon & Parra, 2014).…”

The indigenous population of Latin America has been suffering from a sense of alienation since the arrival of Columbus in 1492 who referred to this land as “Nuevo Mundo”. There is a long history of environmental exploitation in Chile which has severely strained the relationship amongst the Mapuche community, the State and private entities (hydroelectric and timber industry). Although this conflict seems to be economic-productive associated with land, wherein land attains a “tangible material good”, in the Mapuche cosmovision, land (Mapu means land in Mapudungun, the language of Mapuche) acquires a connotation of “intangible material and immaterial good”. There is a profound imperceptible connection between nature and Mapuche and their traditions and culture are strongly rooted in the land. The industrial expansion has promoted a series of negative externalities like habitat fragmentation, loss of native forest, biodiversity reduction, water availability, etc. These affect the “idiosyncrasy” of this community (Mapuche-Nature relationship) and loss of their land could represent an identity loss. The Chilean indigenous policy appears to be inadequate and fail to recognize the socio-cultural and territorial rights for all indigenous peoples, including Mapuche, given the multidimensionality of the land under the indigenous cosmovision. The socio-political measures imposed by the Chilean government until now to make their life “modern” boomeranged alienating them further from society. This paper proposes to look at the territorial rights of the Mapuche with an interdisciplinary approach and focuses on developing the conceptual framework of Mapuche cosmovision of land and territory. The study follows a brief analysis of the historical context of the territorial conflict between the Chilean State and the Mapuche people and how the implementation of national and international normative framework on indigenous rights has not been effective in resolving this territorial conflict. The study tries to synthesize and talks about integrating the Mapuche land cosmovision in the socio-political discourse and be considered while formulating any land policy involving Mapuche and other indigenous peoples inhabiting in Chile in future. The discussions and analysis have been carried out through a comprehensive literature review and integrate an interdisciplinary approach to look at this issue, both from the philosophical perspective and from the socio-political policy framework of government.
