Wallmapu

Ancestral territory of the Mapuche people and nation, located in southern Chile and Argentina

Wallmapu is the word in the Mapuche language to say "Universe"[1] or "set of surrounding lands", currently used by some historians to describe the historical territory inhabited by the Mapuche people of southern South America.[2] The term was coined in the early 1990s by Indigenist groups[3] but gained traction in the 2000s as the Mapuche conflict in Araucanía intensified.[4] Some view the Wallmapu as being composed of two main parts Ngulumapu in the west and Puelmapu in the east, with the southern part of Ngulumapu being known as Futahuillimapu.[5]
