14th Anniversary of the Mapuzugun March: Activists Demand Official Language Status in Araucanía

Mapuche organizations marched in Temuco demanding official status for Mapuzugun. During the 14th mobilization for the ancestral language, they delivered a letter to Governor René Saffirio to resume a working group. They denounce four governments without responses and the danger of the language's extinction due to the state's colonial racism. On Saturday, February 21st, the Fair and Festival for Mapuzugun and Mapuche Resistance, organized by TXAWÜN – Temuko Communities, will take place.
