Cultural History
The Cultural history of Mapuche culture when the Spaniards discovered Chile, Pedro Valdivia was able to get as far South as the Bio-Bio River and was stopped by the Mapuches. History doesn’t stop there, in time some Mapuches eventually were civilized while others remained behind.

….caught . . . between worlds.
