Since the 1990s, it is possible to see the emergence of a new stage of indigenous mobilizations in Latin America. Chile was not the exception, it being possible to verify the same scenario of indigenous mobilization here too, particularly the Mapuche. The latter in the context of a conflict between the Chilean state and the Mapuche people, and a weak legislative framework of protection of indigenous peoples. In this article we will analyse two organizations: the Coordinadora Arauco Malleco, and the Asociación de Municipalidades con Alcaldes Mapuche (AMCAM). These are two different organizations, but which are both part of the Mapuche movement, using different forms of participation to struggle, among other demands, for autonomy and self-determination as objectives to achieve.
