No references found | By Benjamin Witte-Lebhar Historic tensions in southern Chile's Araucania Region have escalated in recent months, with police and Mapuche activists now engaged in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that is turning increasingly violent and shows no signs of ending anytime soon. The controversial law triples the punishment for arson and illegal land occupation and has been used 16 times in the past decade, mostly against the Mapuche people who claim sovereignty over ancestral lands in southern Araucania region. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] "Merken has played a central role in the ancient traditions and cuisine of the native Mapuche people, indigenous inhabitants of Central and Southern Chile, in the Araucania region of Chile for centuries," says Paulina Penaloza, co-founder of Chileangourmet. |
