The Mapuche are the "people of the land". They are also known as Araucanos, a name given to them by the Spanish colonialists. The Mapuche were the original inhabitants of the Southern Cone of the American continent in a region which today covers half of Chile and half of Argentina. The different tribes of Mapuche are known as Puelche, Pikunche, Pehuenche, Lafquenche and Huilliche.
A Mapuche community is presided by a Lonko and the tribe presided by a Toqui. The Mapuche had developed regional cultural diversity without a centralized power, but they nevertheless had a strong sense of unity. The spiritual leaders were called Machi and played important role in the internal affairs of each community. There are various ranks of Machi some of whom in addition to their spirituality, also have a profound knowledge of traditional medicine, most of these being women. The Mapuche artisans are especially known for their masterhood in making excellent pieces of silver-jewelry.
Before the Spanish arrived, the Incas tried to conquer the area south of Maulk-River, but were repelled by the Mapuche. In 1536, when the Spanish first set foot on Mapuche territory, they were welcomed by the Mapuche. Only, when the real nature of their enterprise was disclosed did the Mapuche oppose them a fierce resistance which lasted for over 350 year. This war became known as "la guerra de Arauco" or "the Araucanian War". In 1541 they destroyed Santiago, in 1554, Great Toqui Lautaro had the Chilean Conqueror Pedro de Valdivia imprisoned and executed. Toqui Pelentaru destroyed all Spanish outposts south of BioBio-River around 1600. The Araucanian war has been widely documented by Spanish historians who recognize that the Spanish loss in soldiers and resources in this war was greater than losses through all other conquests throughout the Americas combined. One hundred years after their arrival, on the 6th of January 1641 the Spanish were forced to sign a treaty in Quillin acknowledging the BioBio-River as border.
The treaty did not last, Spanish forces pillaged Mapuche communities who in retaliation destroyed the Spanish positions right north to the Maule river, originally the old border with the Inca Empire. All the Spanish had constructed in over a century of hard work had been swept away. Many indigenous peoples from the north of the continent, attracted by the strength of the Mapuche sought refuge in their land. The Mapuche welcomed these refugee families and gave them protection. With few interruptions the "Araucanian War" lasted throughout the colonial period. According to their own sources the Spanish lost, during the period 1603 to 1674, 42.000 Spanish soldiers, a similar number of indians auxiliares.
After independance, both Chile and Argentina claimed the yet unconquered Mapuche land for themselves and prepared to occupy the area.
On the brink of the demise of the Mapuche nation’s independence, the kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia was created. In 1858, the Mapuche asked Orelie Antoine de Tounens, a French lawyer and admirer of the heroic Mapuche resitance to be their king. They hoped, this new governing system would present them with a fresh opportunity to seek support, alliances and international recognition but their hope was betrayed.
At the end of the 19th century Chilean and Argentinian armies seized the Mapuche territory, a dispossession recorded in Chilean history as the "Pacification of Araucania", and in Argentina as the "Campaign of the Desert". The Mapuche remember these days as "La Ultima Matanza" - The Last Massacre

This is great! Since apparently I need this for my scenario...

Heres some info on the Maphuche:

1. The Prefered Government should be Monarchy..from the 17th century to the turn of the 20th century the Maphuche adopted a European Style Monarchy as their form of Government. Perhaps the Shunned Government should be Fascism...although, it could be also argued that Feudalism is a good choice for Prefered Government.

2. The Mapache to my knowledge were pretty peaceful...they were only agressive when it came to defending their own lands...the only time they attacked preemptively was against the Spanish...but they had good reason to(They were already at War with them) Maybe turn it down to 2...maybe even 1.

forst post, all Mapuche eras

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Did you see all the info above(CIVILIPEDIA ENTRY included) Civarmy...I love the backgrounds this time around btw...the ancient one looks...enchanting.

 

[TopGun]

CivArmy, old chum... looking good already. Your artistic prowess is indispensable!

 

[NeoT]

There are two military leaders who deserve to be in the list, Lautaro (This one should have been the Great leader) and Caupolican. The capital should be Mapu, this was the capital of "the kingdom of the Araucania and Patagonia"(The Mapuche kingdom founded in middle 19th century) and Arauco should be deleted, because its not a town, not even a little place, its the south region of chile, it occupies almost half of Chile.

PD: Sorry for my english, if i have mistaken in something I apologie

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

NeoT, thanks for the tips!
- I changed the leader name
- I changed the capital and erase the wrong city
- I changed the military leaders list
- I change the UU name

All the news are in the editeed first post

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

If anyone deserves their own civ...the Mapuche do.

By the way Civarmy...I think it would be nice to still use Sween's leaderhead in some way in the ACM...Would it be ok if we added the Toltecs in the expansion?

 

[odintheking]

The only complaint I have is that his face is a different tone than his body. Not to say I could make a better one or anything, just my 2 cents. BTW, What's that behind him in medieval?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Looks like giant feathers or something OdintheKing. Maybe some exotic plant?

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

it is style feathers
I posted the civ in the creation foruns, but the links do nor work yet, cos I must replace the files in the correct directory. I'm waiting TF to do it.
