And then it's also tied to the petrochemical trade, because to maintain these soils in this unnatural form, you have to basically pump the land with these artificial fertilizers, which are typically derived from petrochemicals.

Yeah. And this is what we're looking at here in this particular historical narrative. We're just watching the fall of Wild Mapu, of course, but we're also looking at, in a more grander sense, the fall of the remaining communities that actually were maintaining that connection to land.

And General Roca's campaign was celebrated by the Argentine elite as a triumph of civilization over barbarism. We haven't heard that before. So in both Chile's pacification of Araucana and Argentina's conquest of the desert, you had this large-scale dispossession of Apuche land and Guamapu now being fully split by the border of Argentina and Chile. The vast majority of Apuche now live in Chile.
