A feeling of discontent

A little review of mapuches

Nowadays in Museo de la memoria, there is a section dedicated to aboriginal people such as Mapuches, showing to the visitors perspectives of then and how do they are feeling actually in the Chilean country.

Moreover in the museum there is a great sign on the wall with a picture of a Mapuche and screaming “Me cago en el V-centenario”. That expression could be and offensive form of show his discontent, but that make realize about the discontent of Mapuches in Chile.

At the present time they feel kind of discrimination from the other Chileans because there is a historical event named Guerra de Arauco, which event was a conquest of Spanish and they could not do it.

In addition, there is a huge resistance from Mapuches and nowadays they do not feel like a Chilean people compared with the other persons. I think that the Mapuches could be feel of discontent, but they are Chileans even whether they are not conquest by Spanish because we live on the same land, and we must to feel a entity of Nation beyond the Spanish event.
