Chile’s President Sebastian Pinera has imposed a state of emergency over the Mapuche conflict.
The Mapuche, Chile’s largest Indigenous group, have been involved in five centuries of struggle for their ancestral land.
Mapuche demands have been mainly met with silence, leading some armed groups to attack trucks and farmland in the last 10 years.
With the Chilean president under pressure from right-wing factions in his party, troops are being sent to two southern regions hit by the violence.

#Chile #Mapuche #Indigenous
Indigenous people around the world have their rights, however Victory lies in the path of righteousness, righteousness is following the will of our Creator, if they submit themselves to God alone then anything is possible
well late tho but atleast these people started anti colonism against the colonizers who stole their lands and money
Never steal lands and other resources from indigenous people, it will backfire eventually and cost you more than you took.
Jajajaja estos encapuchados jajajja
People around the world supporting the beginning of a new guerrilla in my country? Well thanks a lot guys, thanks for wishing us destabilization
Brother the problem is Piñata and what his people have done to make the country work for them and not for the people
@Non-Agglutinative Krenak yes it’s true, but we can not allow a guerrilla in Chile, and we can not allow the militarization of the zone either. We should seek for consensus, something that no government appears to seek, always hidding the problem under the carpet.
Chile’s Right-Wing President Piñera declared war on Chileans during the social unrest against his disastrous administration. (Unknown to him at the time, a video was recorded at the Military Officer’s Academy in 2019, which now serves as proof.)
He has now declared war against the Mapuche First Nation (in other words the original Chileans, the originals owners of the land).
Piñera’s Chile is like the Titanic; ill-fated.
We’ve been cursed with Piñera at the helm.
They put a people through the same treatment that Nazi’s gave to Eastern Europe for 500 years and are surprised when they shoot back? Either they return the Mapuche their rightful land or they get more violence. The solution is extremely simple, but colonizers don’t know the meaning of giving.
JUST GIVE THEM BACK WHAT BELONGS TO THEM, THEIR LAND THERE WERE THERE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS BEFORE YOU INVADED THEM…
MARRICHIWEW! While I don’t agree with killing, our struggle has gone on long enough.
Cruz Oro sangre
A story as old as time it seems…
*I expect the CIA to be involved in this conflict*
Without any dout
Illegal Vigilantes is what they are and only proper solution is to use military force to restore law and order to Chile.
Yes that’s what their actions were back the government has done next to nothing for decades and with the whole pandemic they further cut the resources allocated to deal with illegal actions in the region. This is a result of non city kids being feed up and acting to push back against their complaints the same complaints of their fathers grandfathers and great grandfathers being unaddressed and continuing to be pushed on to something that can’t be dealt with now but will be in the future.
@Non-Agglutinative Krenak What Chile Goverment can do is to contact French Foreign Legion or American Black Briar mercenaries If Chile army needs support to take out or defeat these rebel vigilantes.
TALIBAN victory is an inspiration to many
Yeah’ retreating to caves for 20 years, and reappearing when the occupier’s leave. The Taliban are not freedom fighters ,more like oppressors, but I guess in the warped world of the Islamist, sharia is freedom.
@Nova Leptis lol vomit more western media narrative. While talibs controlled 50% of land openly after 2015 . When obama increased military presence😂
@Fraternity Guard,lol, islamist apologist are practically waist deep in the same oral diarrhea, . well’ there are no excuses now.
Terrirosts have no religion . Killing unarmed innocent people are cowardness .We shouldn’t relate religion with terririsom
1:55 OBVIOUSLY. But seems to be a rare commodity these days, dialogue.
Respect to them.
I fully support them. sooner or later the oppressed will defend themselves and take back what is rightly theirs.
Ccp
Well, I guess Chile might look a lot like Zimbabwe in the future.
@Lash LaRue We are living in sensitive times, where the left owns all forms of media. Most people sadly fall for there divide and conquer propaganda.
@Sebastien Zarate You know, when I was younger, I believed in all the left-wing messaging in the media. I still believe in some parts of it. But now I’m convinced that lots of it is actually just tribal, vindictive, fundamentally racist, and so naïve in its policy prescriptions as to be patently dangerous! The solution (i.e. wealth redistribution based on sociological factors such as “class” or “race”) is always much worse than the actual “problem”!
@Lash LaRue Evo is back in Bolivia.
Huge crowd.welcomed him home.
@Sebastien Zarate yet still modern and more developed.despite their flaws.
Chile.has a long way to go.
@Ernest Khalimov Hahaha whatever you say fool.
Get tf outta american lands stupid colonialists!!
Never give, freedom doesn’t come up easily because it’s so sweet that whoever have can’t give it without a fight. Get back your land
As a Argentinian, i must say that those aren’t real natives, those are terrorist who kill people and even want 1/3 part of Argentinian territory when their “ancestor” have never been there, they even tried to conquer it against the real argentinian natives (Tehuelches). The colonization wasn’t a nice process, but killing is not a way of getting “their” territory back, even more when they aren’t the real natives.
English is my second language so sorry for any mistake 🙂
Can you be a bit more descriptive about your knowledge of the movement?
Like what’s the claimed motivation? Were does the financing come from? What have been the majority of targets to date?
@Non-Agglutinative Krenak I am not from Chile, but I suspect their fundings come from the drug trade. Powerful forces move behind the scenes.
Don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Con el terrorista y delincuente no se dialoga, se lo llena de agujeros.
Chile is a long country, they stay out of your conflicts so stay out of theirs.
What’s wrong with these governments? Don’t take what doesn’t belong to you.
Chile campeón 🗿🤙🇨🇱
Indigenous people around the world need to understand the world has changed and they need to adapt. Their culture can be preserved, but not at the expense of the modern state which is apart of an international system.
Indeed. The Natives in America tried to preserve their culture, but theur failure to modernize nearly wiped them out. It’s one thing to try to defend your ideals but you need to adapt to succeed. The Chinese in the 19th century learned that the hard way.
What other choice do they have? How many more centuries without force does it take for indigenous people to get justice?
It probably a communist rebel groups calling for ancestral land. Alot of tribal groups are brainwashed and being used by the communist rebel groups to go against government by using them to call for justice.
@gearzone2611 I don’t believe that is common whatsoever. Indigenous peoples being oppressed is common. Rebellion was common well before communism was even an idea.
Sad that the government has been so culpable in the theft of land without recompense. Power to the people! The rape of the land must end at some point perhaps now?
Never back down,Bravo.
And the media still tries to gaslight them saying they are forcing away forest companies and taking their own land back😂 nice try
Viva la vida y la naturaleza fuera las empresas devastadoras forestales que roban agua.
We have never see this in chile this are terrorist supported by narcotrafic and Venezuelan movements. Pinochet give the land back to the mapuches and they sold the land and machinery that was given to them and now they want this back so you should investigate more and them make comments. The mapuches always want everything for free and it doesn’t work that way you have to work for the money.
Send the European back
Take your land back
The indigenous people have rights to their motherland.
@Gol D. Roger THOSE ARE COMMUNIST FAKE NATIVES YOU FOOL.
@Jose Fernandez you fool, why it is not mention by your President?
@Gol D. Roger You have a very warped view on free markets. I suggest you read Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell and get educated.
@HunterBidensCrackPipe do you really know the flaws of free market economy? You are the one who need to learn more.
Yes! here I have the indigenous right, hanging between my legs. The indigenous people have to recognize the sovereignty of the states already established in South America. Get into your business, gringo!
Aljiziara is against humanity
Finally some natives with balls
Viva la gente! ✨
Bueno la CIA creo un nuevo monstruo un nuevo estado islamico y allana el camino a otra intervención y a un nuevo derramamiento de sangre
Not a fan of violence however the snakes in charge talk about dialogue when indigenous groups have been asking for exactly that for years without success all that time forestry & mining companies strip the land & what can’t be farmed mined or sold is made into nature sanctuaries, And what about the inhuman nature that native peoples have had to endure at the hands of settlers/farmers on what little land they are tacitly given to live on? something had to give & it has & nothing beyond either helping native cultures or their descendants to gain back their heritage in land will suffice.
Just give their ancestral land back. Before Chile, they already living and working in the land. But then again, I have no idea if they are legit or members of the communist rebel groups. Who knows, only the citizens and the government can be very certain. But if they’re wearing masks. It doesn’t sounds they are really members of the indigenous groups. Tribal groups never weak masks to be calling for justice on their ancestral lands. Never!
This is not their land to begin with, their ancestors Invaded from China they are Mongols and Siberian. This was the Black Inca land and the Olmecs. Their time is up, only for so long can you get away with theft before it happens to you.
Long time ago not seen Lucía Newman. She was working for the news outlet CNN in Cuba.
I know this will happens that’s the only way to control Europeans invasion.
Europeans pretending to be south American lol how funny and sad..
@Sebastien Zarate “most politicians come from wealthy families with no mapuche ancestry” literally proved my point lmao you are not the smartest man..
@Francesco C I read your comment again, guess I miss read what you wrote, I thought you where putting everyone in the same bag, I apologize for my miss underatanding, I’m not but hurt, but I was frustrated thinking you where judging the entire country due to our politicians appearance. Oh by the way, most Hispanics and latin americans have european ancestry, including myself (Spanish ancestry) by saying ” European descendant that why you got so butthurt huh” is dumb given that by that logic you disqualify most of latin america.
@Sebastien Zarate lol no worries bro and i apologize if i came off arrogant or rude. I have much respect for people of all religion, ethnicity, and culture. I just hate seeing native tribes and peoples being destroyed by the rich elite.
@Francesco C Its all good 👍
south Americans are literally called mutts/mix race/intermix. They are literally majority “mestizo” which literally means “mix race” or “mutt”
They are half Native American. And their features show it.
Fight for your land ❗
This are not indigenous people, this are narco/terrorist heavily armed. they have burned alive innocent people, shoot and killed farmers in their properties, shoot women and children, burning live stock, trucks, cars, houses, schools, churches and forests. They have taken land form farmers with extreme violence.
About time the government protects innocent hard working people.
Every 12th October, the day Colón landed in America, the South American governments, think Mexico, use the anniversary to subtlety suggest it all to do with the Spanish. La conquista of 500 years ago. RESISTENCIA INDÍGENA, they call it. Pictures of Colón, Spanish galleons…etc… are displayed to insinuate the resistance against the Spanish and Europeans.
But the Spanish and Europeans left. How can they be to blame now? The resistance can only be against the descendents de the Europeans and Spanish, the present South Americans. They had been the oppressor ever since. La hipocresía es infinite. These indígenas seem to be one more case of that hipocresy.
Mapuchis native has the right to take their owned land which were land grabbed by the devils imperialist/dictator chile government conniving to the imperialist/dictator US/Europe who steal their natural resources.
Go mapuches !
VIVA LOS MAPUCHES!!!ELLOS ESTAN EN TODO SU DERECHO. VIVA LA REVOLUCION.
Oh Sh#*, here we go again…
they should have their land back, but those who killed the farmer should be held accountable.
This is like what happened to us Bangsamoro in Mindanao and Palawan during the 1900s, US occupation government have send many Christian farmers settlers have given a free land and pushed away the native Muslim inhabitants until this day we will suffer from its effect.
Islam belongs in arabia
@Yurichtube Christianity belongs in Kentucky
Wasn’t that the initiative of the Quirino government which was accelerated by the Magsaysay government that followed. The slogan “Mindanao: the land of promise” was a government PR stunt. The Americans didn’t encourage Christian settlement in Mindanao, they were already there since the Spanish times, and Mindanao was separately governed under the Department of Moro from 1913-1946…
@DaGood Life don’t care where christianity belongs
if u looking for someone to blame is marcos how bring alot of people their in mindanao, u forgot the ilocano how they settle their, and u forgot the ilocano is the one how owns a big chunk of land thier specially the farm land , that the work of marcos 😂😂😂😂😂
The history of South America is similar to the history of the US, where government and society are openly genociding and repressing indigenous presence and history, supplanting it with a narrative that South America was empty and that whites are naturally natives of this continent. Today, the Mapuche in Chile and Argentina are marginalized, living in apartheid and to the same brutal policies that Israel imposes on the Palestinian people. The UN never mentions the indigenous of South America, an ongoing genocide and the Crimes Against Humanity that Chile, Argentina, and Brazil have committed.
… well said. And every 12th October is used to remind of the Spanish conquista pretending that the present South Americans has nothing to do with it. Banners appears with RESISTENCIA INDÍGENA. Resistencia against who? It can’t be the Spanish. They talk about the Spanish invasion, and they see themselves as being invaded. The president of Mexico and the Mexicans are good as this hypocrisy. And the Chileans, Peruvians… It’s really nauseating.
All nations of South America have committed Crimes Against Humanity. South America is controlled by White Supremacists, US, and Israel. It is an ongoing genocide that the UN never mentions, an institution created to serve white supremacy and Zionism.
Recently I watched a documentary about Indian slave immigrant workers in Suriname 🇸🇷. And narrator says Suriname 🇸🇷 is the first country where immigrants population is more then natives , and I was shocked, look those Indians were sugarcane farm workers who were bringing to Suriname 🇸🇷 as workers but ended up as slaves, ot only in Suriname but also in Mauritius and in Caribbean, and few Im Salta Rosario the la Frontera too,
But my question is , in USA, Australia, Newzealand, Argentina, Canada, Brazil, Chille, Ecuador and many other countries, they never mentioned how Europeans white peoples invade their countries, destroy their culture their population and ripped off them from. What they have send indigenous to reserves or simply wiped out them with systematic way.
Harsh right
The strong live on the weak perish
Español conquistadors at worst.
… the Spanish and Europeans left a long time ago. Every 12th October is used to remind of the conquista insinuating the Spanish are still at it. But after the Spanish left the discrimination against native went on. It never stopped. Banners appear with RESISTENCIA INDÍGENA. Resistence against who? It can’t be the Spanish. The hipocresy is infinite.
What those people called?
Terraristas?
Civil war?
PANDORA PAPERS 💰💰💰
Mapuche take back your land by any means necessary✊
What’s a terrorist people who refused to be enslavement and fight for their freedom
A votar por Kast 100% .
50%+1 para ahorrar dinero
Probably should have let them keep their land, huh?
Send them weapon
Sorry but the country of Chile has a right to exist. Yes, bad things happened in the past. People killed each other and stole each others’ land. ALL land is stolen land. That’s the way the world used to work.
If you think the Mapuche’s ancestors didn’t steal the land from someone else, you’re dreaming. Indigenous tribes murdered each other and stole each others’ land constantly.
Now if the Chilean government is throwing people off land they actually own, that’s another matter. But you can’t let people run around burning peoples’ houses down because they claim its built on their “ancestral land.”
To the people cheering this on, think about where your house is. I guarantee someone could go back in history and find out your house is on “stolen land.” You plan on moving? Didn’t think so.
Communists and Islamists are the main troublemakers worldwide
Oppressive who did this to indigenous people will blame other what they did to innocent 🤦🏽♀️
What 😂
Lol Chile is gonna crush pocahontas
Sounds familiar.. happen to native Americans.
We support native people including Palestinians. Give them their country back ✌🏾😁
@Halal Police Palestine is not a country and not going to be
@Yurichtube the original Bible or the King James Bible made by the pedo king king James in the 1600s
@M Masseh S I can care less about the bible or christianity
@Halal Police you’re translating the word פלשת, as Palestine. It’s pronounced more like “Pleshet” and is a word used to derived from the Hebrew (or possibly proto-Canaanite if you’re being picky) word for “invaders”, derived from the three consonant root פ.ל.ש. A more literal translation would be “the land of the invaders” in English.
Arabs native to Canaan😂
The mask 😂😂😂😂
😅😆😁🤣😂😂🤣
imagine a newspaper reporting the atrocities that the invading white did to the Indians when he arrived on the mainland.
Indians are fighting to keep the forests standing, so to gain political support the bad president calls Indians drug dealers. and the outside world ends up seeing only one side of the coin and judging as usual.
I hope the indigenous people are strong enough to reclaim their land and their pride from this endless capitalist rape.
“Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”

@Dalem Silas ohh really, the biggest violent offenders in history were atheist -> Hitler, Stalin, Mao
@Dalem Silas so the police and army are incompetent
@Muslimcel your logic is broken.
@Omar Em lol 😂😂, Hitler was a Catholic Christian. This is basic history!
@Dalem Silas Raised catholic but he renounced it later in life. He is straight up agnostic at best. Basic history🤣🤣
they should take wats rightfully theirs.
El bestia pińera
how can they be terrorists if they fight for their own land grabbed by the government
Here also europeans were involved ..
Well to fix the problem give back the land
Mapuche have the rights to their lands.
The Chilean state owes reparations!
no
Go Mapuches!!
Hemos vuelto a 1881 cuando el ejército chileno declaró la guerra de la araucanía…
They are First nations
No violence is justified, but this is so sad, everywhere you go you find that Indigenous people are often marginalized – Not everyone who takes arms is terrorist, governments should stop making excuses instead of addressing the real issue!
They are poor, marginalised, the young unemployed, left behind in most of economy prospects… Of course they are desperate and angry.
Since Gog and Magog, also known as western civilization came out of Western Europe, the world has never known peace. The spread across the globe of Western civilization is an eschatological issue which will culminate into nuclear war between the big powers where a a large part of humanity will be decimated.
Everywhere west go , they create problem.
I stand with the indigenous people of Chile and anywhere in the world. Its their land.
@The Jester Which is why they are now fighting back. They were “conquered” and lost their lands. They are now fighting back to regain those “conquered” lands so everything is fine.
@Abdulai Bah Then they shouldn’t cry when they get killed by police and the military.
@The Jester No they will cry because they are human beings. Humans do indeed cry for your information. But they will also do what it takes to regain their land. They may not win but they will make life very difficult for the oppressors.
@Abdulai Bah And who are those oppressors, the chilean people?
@The Jester Let’s start with those that stole their lands. Then there are those that continue to marginalize them in their own land. A bleak picture is painted by all credible human rights NGOs about the treatment of indegenous people. Now up to you decide who we are talking about here.
The scars left by colonialism still run deep.
Rastafari
Hopefully the natives have their land back.
My congratulations to the Mapuche people !
Hasta la revolucion siempre !!!
I stand with all the indigenous maize 🌽 people
I kinda think these groups are full of it. They attack lumber companies and farmers but finance themselves through cocaine production which pollutes the environment. Also killing innocent farmers who were probably born there isn’t a good idea either
Chila government should understand US was in Afghanistan for 2 decades and at the end they decided to talk, so the best and good way is to talk and sort out matters peacfully
Get out and stay out of native lands
