What does it mean to be Mapuche today in Chile?

In this first part of the conversation, I talk with Simón Loncopán, a Mapuche leader from southern Chile, about identity, community, territory, and the relationship between people and land.

This episode focuses on the more philosophical side of the conversation: how the Mapuche worldview understands belonging, reciprocity, and collective life, and why individualism has become one of the biggest challenges today.

This is Part 1 of the interview. In Part 2, the conversation moves into politics and current conflicts.
