Mapuche it is!
Hopefully the Inca and the Polynesians will come later.

The Inca are definitely coming to Civ6 later.
Not sure about a blob Polynesian Civ, but Hawaii or the Maori seem like plausible replacements.

Well, the initial guess was the right one. Happy to see the Mapuche. Sad there's nothing left to speculate about.
There‘s 22h26 min to speculate about their abilities... civ ability seems the one with most room for doing so.

Possible UUs:
Warrior replacement with "clava" club, a weapon unique to the Mapuche
Medic/Guru replacement with "Machi," Mapuche shaman/healers who have been reported on lately due to their gender-fluidity
Great General replacement with "Toqui," which would possibly allow units to gain experience faster or get science on kill due to the rapid warfare advancements Mapuche Toqui made when fighting the Spanish

Horseman replacement. This is really the first that comes to mind for me. May it be ancient or Renaissance...

Could be... apparently they utilized the tactic of "malon" to create chaos and raid Spanish settlements for resources, more horses, er... women according to Wikipedia.
Could get a bonus to pillaging

As somebody else said, an espionage boost would fit Lautaro like a glove. It's a shame that Genghis already took the extra combat edge for visibility level.
Maybe eurekas for enemy techs in wartime? A dark age boost to military units? Tech theft boost for spies? So many options.

Lautaro could get eurekas for techs required to train the unit the Mapuche defeated.

Honestly, I wish that was a general rule.

I hope those disappointed with the Inca not showing up in R&F will cheer up when they are finally added....
Even if the Inca is the most famous Pre-Columbian South American "Civ" (largely due to being there when the Spanish arrived *, imagine if literate people encountered the Tiwanaku/Wari....), there's room for another one like the Mapuche.
*plus having the largest land empire in South America, among other things

That'd make for a cool Military policy card I think. Situationally very useful.
As a Civ ability I wouldn't be such a huge fan because it would require you to be behind to get any use out of it

Inca DLC with a scenario featuring the Mapuche would be cool. After researching them they seem like the best option for another Indigenous SA tribe other than the Muisca, which might be hard to pull off.
