Üxüf Xipay plot

In the history books of Chile there is no place for the culture of the original inhabitants – the Mapuche Indians. That would not suit the 'winkas', the 'invaders'. Üxüf Xipay reconstructs the struggle of the Indians to preserve their land on the basis of interviews with ancient Indians, historians, a large landowner, government leaders and activists. Although steps were taken under Allende to improve the Mapuche's position, Pinochet reversed it just as hard.
