as the government of Salvador Allende, you know where this is going, passed an indigenous law that recognized their distinctive culture and history and began to restore Mapuche communal lands.

In power, Pinochet calls for the division of the reserves and the liquidation of the Indian communities. He literally sounds like a cartoon villain with everything I've read and learned about him. I mean, who speaks of the liquidation of a people?

Yeah, I mean, that's something I always think about. When I think of a lot of the most brutal world leaders across human history, I often think, you know, this person did not spawn out of thin air. There was a time when this person was a newborn. And they were babbling, learning to speak, learning to walk, became a toddler, small child, preteen, teenager, young adult.

So much nature and nurture would have gone into the person they became. But they had the same spawn point as everybody else. They all started as a baby. And Pinochet was, unfortunately, no exception.

That same year, Mampuche representatives at the UN pushed for Chile to adopt ILO Convention 169, a key indigenous rights treaty, but Chile didn't actually ratify the convention until 2008.
