Mapuche:
Native American repression is the most constant theme in the description of what Native Americans have faced. It is as true with The Native American Nation Mapuche (Chile: South America)as with any other group.

Where is the Mapuche Nation?
"The Mapuche nation is situated in what is known as the Southern Cone of South America, in the area now occupied by the Argentine and Chilean states...
The Mapuche nation is situated in its historical ancestral territory, the Wall-Mapu: Wall; universe, Mapu; land/territory."

Is Repression still happening?
"Most recently a 17-year-old Mapuche activist, Edmundo Alex Lemun, died on Nov. 12, 2002, five days after being shot in the head during a clash with carabineros (police) who were trying to forcibly remove a group of Mapuches occupying ancestral indigenous lands claimed by the Mininco lumber company in Angol Province.
There are dozens of Mapuche activists today being held as political prisoners in Chile's jails as part of struggles for land rights."
