Yeah. Oh, the Obama connection.

Exactly. But we're not focused on the U.S. for this episode. Thank goodness. Instead, we're going to be going back into the past and the present as well, because the struggle really doesn't end, and taking a look at the struggle of the Mapuche in Chile and Argentina. I'd actually mentioned them in my exploration of Latin American anarchisms that, you know, they would need their own episodes, so...

Here we are taking a look at everything that they've been up to. And it's really thanks to the work of my fellow anarchists, M. Gould Hawke and John Severino and their research that I've been able to put together this elucidation of indigenous anarchist history.

So the lands that now bear the titles of Chile and Argentina have long held the Mapuche people, long before borders were drawn, long before the world learned to cage the wild. The land itself is considered Walmapu, and it's deeply entwined with the identity of the Mapuche people. While Mapu is of course not just a geographical tomb, it is also a spiritual one.

It is a tapestry of their histories and their dreams, and also their view of the world through a lens of reciprocity. Because the Mapuche do acknowledge their kinship with the land, the rivers, the mountains, and that worldview that they hold, and have traditionally held rather, champions balance and harmony and respect for all forms of life.

which is what has been fueling their ongoing fight against occupation. So in a sense, the Mapuche struggle echoes an anarchist ethos of autonomy and mutual aid, but I wouldn't go as far as to call them anarchists. You know, I mean, They have a very specific cultural, historical, and spiritual context that is distinct from anarchist thought, despite the similarities and overlaps here and there.

So today we'll be exploring the history, people, and struggles of Almapu that have shaped the Mapuche experience. Now, ancient archaeological finds from tools to pottery have suggested that the Mapuche may have settled in present-day southern Chile and Argentina as far back 2,500 to 3,000 years ago.

Genetic and linguistic research connects the Mapuche lineage to other indigenous groups across the Andes, meaning that their ancestors may have migrated down the western spine of South America in waves, adapting to the rainforests, coastlines, and valleys of what's now Waumapu.
