The 500-year Secret Conflict In Chile 

surprise how unbiased the video was

We need more stories about South American and African conflicts and issues

not just in Chile but in all of Latin America

Wow thank you for sharing, I have had no idea of such problems in Chile. Though I do live in Canada and my media likely has less interest in documenting something like this. Good job Seeker crew.

This was great! Thank you! 🙏🏼🇨🇱

same thing is happening in the USA.. standing rock

So excited to see this Chilean conflict shown to the world in an unbiased way, something that is COMPLETELY foreign to our press, unfortunately. Now I like this channel even more

One other thing-wealthy US nationals with a social justice agenda have started a new fund called Buen Vivir [you can learn more at Regenerative Finance or IDEX] that invests [with generous terms] in indiginous-led enterprises throughout the Americas, putting money behind indigenous rights. So there's definitely some inspiring direct action occurring regarding the meta issues surrounding indigenous rights.

Very insightful for a brief piece. Another microcosm highlighting the struggle between established governments and the resistance of indigenous people to reclaim their land rights. As a U.S. citizen I was unaware that this struggle was taking place in Chile, but this piece goes to show this issue extends to the borders of many regions... Well Done!

I'm in the midst of reading Naomi Klien's "The Shock Doctrine." She's outlining how US-back state-perpetrated terrorism efforts in Central and South America starting with Chile in the '70s explicitly laid the groundwork for "free-market" fundamentalism. I'd be fascinated to learn more about this particular issue. There are so many tragic indigenous conflicts going on all over the world right now.

Buen documental, como sugerencia lo podrían subtitular al español, para que llegue a más publico.

Great documentation. I had no idea about these details of historical proportions. Not surprised. It's a microcosm 'pattern' for land right issues and general suppression around the world.

excellent video, thanks

This is a sad situation!

They should upload more videos like this.

how about give free land to the indigenous people just like they gave it to the europeans? They can continue their traditions on that land.

I appreciate knowing about this and always like Kyle's easy way of describing complex situations. When we hear that governments are responsible for a huge amount of death and destruction within their own national borders, this is a good way to get a picture of how that happens…and how getting the government out of the way will be an essential part of resolving this conflict because they are the ones who have a vested interest in having these two groups of people fight with each other while their corporate-subsidized logging companies get on with raping the land at both of the waring people’s expense. Thanks for a thoughtful piece, well done.

How powerful is Hijab Queen?

just to clarify, the region you are talking about was called "the frontier", Spaniards never went south from this region during colonial times, including the Argentinian side.

Thank you for share the story that must be told. From a Chilena that lives in the Netherlands

Totally different ways of life. European descendants say that mapuches are lazy, that they don't work the land. But mapuche met the incas before and, knowing what these peoples had, they didn't want to build big cities and kingdoms like them, they just wanted to live in armony with their land. That's what they still fight for. For us is to maintain unproductive land, for them, to protect the earth, their ancestors and spirits land.

I thought this video was going to teach me a secret chili recipe.

Please with subtitles in spanish

(the history of mapuches) Cuando los españoles "descubrieron" estas tierras 500 años atrás, colonizaron a cada pueblo desde norteamérica sin encontrar una gran resistencia, hasta que se descubrieron Wallmapu (mapuche nacion). Esta gente derramó su sangre por la libertad, por sus tierras, por su honor y humillaron a los españoles que traían toda la tecnología militar y se hacían llamar "el ejército más potente de la época" ... el mapuche comenzó la resistencia que se desplegó a travez de los años en toda américa

I love the fact that they traveled all the way down to chile and not only went went to the capital but they also traveled even more south and all of that just for a fucking 6 minutes video, that's just wasting money, at least give us 20 or 25 minutes of video

Wow I never knew this. I feel bad for both sides in this battle. What is necessary in my opinion is a very strong judiciary to adjudicate property rights claims. It has to start somewhere.

Addressing several peoples' statements, and ignoring their lack of intelligence and empathy I will point that: the state of Chile has persecuted, with unethical laws taylor-made for this matters (see "anti-terrorism law"), mapuche people for more than 20 years. This has been happening ironically since the so called left-tolerant-integration governments, prosecuting them with little or no proof for every incident in the region (including later on proven auto-attacks to get insurances), and labelling them automatically as terrorists, manipulating public opinion and discriminating and segregating them for economic reasons. The timber industry owns more than a million hectares of land in the so called "conflict zone", a land that has been polluted and expanded because of the deforestation that they have caused. Add the fact that no more than around a hundred years, mapuche were being normally abused, enslaved, tortured and killed in the process called "araucania pacification", which was only an institutionalized way to hide a failed genocide (see “Trizano”). Keep working on your “thinking”, fascist idiots. Chile is a rich country that has a place for all points of view, and yes, economic exploitation as well, but why doing it in impairment of people that have an ethical behaviour towards nature?

5:06 typical chileno/a who denies being indigenous, shes no european!

Great video. I wish it were longer, The situation in my country is pretty bad. Money talks and poor people always get fucked up. Chileans, wake up!

If someone want to translate this, I am Chilean and this is what happens. Mira te explico, subieron la tarifa del metro 87 pesos chilenos, después de eso los carabineros (policia de chile) tuvieron que mantener el orden en la estaciones de metro porque se podía ver más de 600 personas por estación saltándose las barandas, los carabineros tuvieron que usar la fuerza para detener a los manifestantes, poco después, los manifestantes salieron a quemar edificios y destruir la ciudad, ahora salieron los militares a las calles para ayudar a los carabineros a detener a los delincuentes y esto ha causado mucho revuelo ya que gracias a estás manifestaciones se registran varios heridos ente civiles y policías

Ok, let me make something clear that I disagree with. 1: Ever since Chile recognized its independence from Spain, the Chilean government were mostly occupied with crisis and a war (War of the Pacific/ Saltpeter war against Peru and Bolivia) 2: After the start of the 20th Century, Chile needed to tie up its relations with forgery countries to get a better economy. There were more important necessities for the government than worrying about indigenous people (government perspective). 3: During the Cold War, Chile was leading towards a “new” type of communism and United States being the themselves, established a dictatorship, killed, tortured people etc, it was one of the worst dictatorships during the Cold War. PS: The Americans still haven’t said sorry about that. Even though they have violated human right of 600,000 times in Chile just in that Dictatorship of Agusto Pinochet,

As a Chilean (German descent) myself, I must say that the Araucanian Conflict has paid a terrible toll that has resulted many casualties on both sides. War is never the answer obviously and we must come up with a final solution if we want to stop the bloodshed once and for all. For peace sake. I know it is not as easy as it may sound but we are destroying our own people, land, ancestry and traditions. The only way is to come together and embrace our differences.

Give back the land. And an alternative land to descendants of settlers. All ill gotten wealth never breeds peace. Such stories around the world, powers deviding the world carelessly. Peace.

es un documental más largo? o esto no más? ta bueno.

CIV 6 anyone?

Stories like this the world over. All victims of ancient crimes. Story of life.

Does anyone know where do the scenes that appear between 5:55 to 6:00 come from?

man I would just go guerrilla and start taking up arms. give me a reason to fight I love it

reminds me of Palestine

Do anyone else think that Chillness guy look like Sofloantonio?.

Practice make perfect

Ideals don't determine who's right. Power determines who's right. If you have the power...

The map at the beginning is wrong =P . there are 3 regions between araucanía region and the region of santiago.

finally ... I thought no one will ever talk about native south American... we have suffered a lot mostly by the Catholic Church rather then the government .. pleassssssss do videos about the genocides still happening ....

what do realy mean when you said "they are victims"? can you clarify that please.

Can you do Montenegro please

"Settlers are victims".... HAHAHAHAHHA. Oh It wasn't a joke ?

The world only talks about American Indians genocide that too at slightest. But the genocides on indigenous tribal communities began since many centuries ago. Islam invading North Africa, Hindus invading India, European invading American hemisphere, Oceania. Chinese invading Taiwan and many other incidents in history which really needs to be brought in front of world.

To top this I think people of both are likely mixed ancestry but grow up as there MezoAmerican Indgous Tribal group or as European hertage land owner but all stuff said here in this video has lead to this issue still with tribes wanting thire land and land owners inherted being owners . I'm having a hard time venting what I want to say so I hope this makes senses maybe my ADHD has something to do with this and I got dyslexia so I likely misspelled too

#LandBack

VIVA MAPUCHE!! Don't be like Amerindians in the USA. Fight for your ancestral lands!

5:27 spending a day with a "chilean" family and a mapuche family??? what if i told you theyre both chilean, wtf is this guy saying

Amazing how this hasn't turned violent yet.

My mom flipped a nut when she saw this, there is misleading and missing information. Apparently a friend from birth was assassinated and house burned down when she was growing up in Concepcion/ Temuco

long live native american people !

Similar to many other Latin-American countries

damn

2:14 Is that creature running towards the car a dog or a cat? #Meow

South Africa only 9-12% of the land is arable. Land is culturally important to the Boer/Afrikaaner settlers who where migrating deeper into the mainland seeking grazing for their cattle and trying to escape the rule of the English empire with the empire forcefully taking over all the new republics. Bantu people basically only settled the interior and north eastern part of the country. in February 2017 the country suffered 30 farm attacks resulting in 15 deaths. The subject is also worth a video with the 3rd largest political party in that country wanting to take land from racially western people without compensation regardless of the background or personal wealth of those individuals. all of this despite Zimbabwes land grabs failing miserably.

Are we supposed to feel bad for them? They lost in a war, the victories are reaping the rewards.

we don't have free education and that's the biggest problem in a society, actually when we ask for it some people say "you want everything for free"

Ouite a long conflict

Divide the land and apportion it equally per capita between the settlers and the natives.

Stop romanticising the mapuche as poor innocent victims!! The situation is not as simple as many think, currently thanks to the indigenous laws, the mapuche have many legal privileges that non-indigenous don't have and being (or as many do, trying to be) a mapuche now is "cool" so I don't think discrimination is still a great thing, of course most mapuche are peaceful people who lives or in the cities or in the countryside and are as Chileans as the other citizens, but there are some communities who belong to the CAM who do terorrism, you can't deny that, with people killed by them and all, not all are "angels" as well as not all non-indigenous are "devils". Were I live there are many huilliche, who refuse to be called mapuche, because they have their own identity, their own traditions, and now people from the Araucanía with government support comes and imposes to them mapuche culture, are we always going to have the mapuche in high esteem thinking they are perfect people while they treat badly other indigenous and non-indigenous persons? They are not worth more just for being part of an ethnic group, that's racism. Mapuche are not perfect, they are humans, and we shouldn't try to justify the terrorist attacks made by CAM adherents, and about giving them some lands back, sadly when land is gave to the community, the president of it owns it, not all members of the community, we should gave them private land for their own if we really want to help them, not communitarian land which at the end is not worked neither is theirs at all! Why should I as a descendant of European immigrants gave my house to someone just for belonging to an ethnic group? Do you support state sponsored racism without knowing doesn't you?

¿por qué no hablan de cuando mataron a los indígenas en USA o como sometieron a países como India o Egipto?

Greatful dude when I mean natives I'm talking about indigenous people not guerrilla fighters

Is it me or is rhis Sonia Villobos women looks very native-american?

One can not forget that there's foreigners trying to divide Chile

In "AMERICA" this is how they created "AFRICAN AMERICANS" THEY'RE RENAMED AND GIVEN THEYRE CULTURE

Indigenous people are most of the time suppressed by the settlers.

I think the Chilean government is too lineant, any other counyry and this would have been resolved in leass than 5 years. You cannot live claiming history. Everybody is indegenous somewhere, you don't see everybody fighting without end. Ship them off to other places, clear the region if they don't cooperate....

It's The the same case with indigenous people all over the world.. Why? Leave them alone

For my kinsfolk scrimmaging from neo-Europeans, promote Amerindianism against neo-Europeanism.

*cough* Israel-Palestinian conflict all over again *cough*

porque no se unen todo las "víctimas" del gobierno?la tierra es grande suficiente para compartirlo y descubrir que así sera mas lindo. todos juntos :)en vez de ser víctima hay que vivir!!

the native woman looked more European than the descendant of "white settlers"

this is the same as in America with minorities. that's your summary of the video. the same is the situation in every country from Canada to Argentina. we just recognize minorities as human well before the us. let's not remember that the Japanese had sex slaves in ww2, in India they still see their own people as u human because they are little less brown.

God save the Nativen Chile from the Devil....

please do write the year, month and date in which the incident took place

Will the new Constitution change this situation?

as anyone can see, their faces and types are not 100% mapu-che, everyone is mixed with spaniards. So, why all this out-of-age discussion? Races and nations differenciations shouldn't exists in nowadays!! Let's chilean people all work together! We have a very noble past from all those who came here before us. 😑

Coca cola is really everywhere.

the land doesn't belong to the natives. Their ancestors lived there 200+ years before, so they claim that the land is theirs? the Chilean's living on the land didn't steal it from natives, maybe 200+ years ago you could claim that, but the owners haven't stolen anything.

Colonialism & genocide is happening all over the world. In Canada it's been happening since the early settlers. To the Anishinabie/First Nations People. The was the 60's Scoop where the government came in and put all the children in foster care. These children we subjected to sexual/physical/mental abuse. Also the Residential School era where RCMP took children away as young as 2 years old. The pain And abused that happened in this era was horrific. The government hiding behind the Catholic Church. The government tried to assimilate all Native people this happens every where. 😡😡😡. We will not be victims no more. This was an awesome storey.

ROCKEFELLER IS OWNER OF CHILE

Captilisim

El gobierno es culpable, Nadien mas

I see Chileans fighting Chileans...... :-/

How powerful is Sri Lanka? How powerful is Thailand?

Jesus Christ, just give the natives their land back and give the European descendants equivalent land elsewhere. It will be cheaper in the long run because no anti-terror equipment will be necessary.

quien tiene marihuana?????

I'm just a know-nothing outsider, but it sounds to be that the Mapuche and the descendants of settlers would both benefit from talking and getting to know each-other despite their differences and possible hatred, form ties, and work together. Then again, nothing is simple, so I can think of many reasons why this might not be a likely solution.

Israel for Aryans?
