Mapuche (culture) (Native South Andean styles, Native Andean, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Culture of the most numerous group of Indians in South America, inhabiting the Central Valley of Chile, south of the Biobío River. A smaller group lives in Neuquén provincia, west-central Argentina. Historically, the Mapuche were one of three groups of Araucanians as identified by Spanish ethnographers -- Picunche, Mapuche, Huillich. All Araucanians now identify themselves as Mapuche. In the pre-Spanish period, the Mapuche lived in scattered farming villages throughout the Central Valley. Each settlement had a cacique, or chief, whose authority did not generally extend beyond his own village. The Mapuche cultivated corn (maize), beans, squash, potatoes, chili peppers, and other vegetables and fished, hunted, and kept guinea pigs for meat. |

Dutch ..... Cultuur van de talrijkste groep indianen in Zuid-Amerika. Ze leven in de Centrale Vallei van Chili, ten zuiden van de rivier de Biobío. Een kleinere groep leeft in de provincie Neuquén, in het middenwesten van Argentinië. Vroeger werden de Mapuche door Spaanse etnografen gezien als een van de drie groepen Araukaniërs, waarbij de Picunche en Huillich de andere twee waren. Alle Araukaniërs noemen zichzelf nu Mapuche. In de pre-Spaanse periode leefden de Mapuche verspreid in boerendorpen in de hele Centrale Vallei. Elke nederzetting had een cacique, of hoofd, die meestal alleen in zijn eigen dorp gezag had. De Mapuche verbouwden maïs, bonen, pompoen, aardappelen, chilipepers en andere groenten en leefden verder van visvangst, jacht en het houden van cavia's voor het vlees. |
