Yet indigenous people still have to struggle for their rights over the water resources they have been using and protecting for generations.

29. Indigenous Peoples' Human Rights explicitly denied, and even now the chilean Constitution does not recognize the distinctpolitical and cultural identities of indigenous peoples within chile. http://160.94.193.60/indig/reports/mapuche.htm

The Mapuche People of South America Background For most of the time since independence, Chile has pursued policies explicitly meant to take control of Mapuche territories. The political, cultural and social independence of the Mapuche was explicitly denied, and even now the Chilean Constitution does not recognize the distinct political and cultural identities of indigenous peoples within Chile. However, in 1993 a law was passed to recognize, protect and support indigenous peoples (Law 19.253 for the Protection, Promotion and Development of Indigenous People). There are five main foci of the law: political participation, education, land rights, cultural rights, and development rights. These are meant to address the rights and freedoms of indigenous peoples as set by UN Convention No. 169: The Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention. MAP OF CHILE Source: WorldAtlas.com http://www.graphicmaps.com/webimage/countrys/samerica/maps/clmap.htm Current Struggles Hydroelectric development: Perhaps one of the most important struggles for the Mapuche is the movement against hydro-electric development in their territories, on the Bío Bío River. In the Bío Bío project, the energy company ENDESA, S.A. (owned by Spanish parent company Enersis Group) plans to build six dams along the Bío Bío River for hydro-electric power. The project began with the Pangue dam, and construction of the second dam (Ralco) is currently underway. The Mapuche were not included in the planning for this project. In fact, two Mapuche representatives in the Chilean government were dismissed because of their resistance to the project. After their dismissal, the president appointed a non-Mapuche to the position, and the project was approved.

At odds over Chile's indigenous peoples By GONZALO BAEZA However, so far neither violent activism nor political lobbying has been successful for Chile's ethnically diverse indigenous communities, which range from the Amerindian Mapuche people to the Polynesian Rapa-Nui people of Easter Island. This was never more evident than this week at the Chilean Senate, when in a heated voting session Wednesday, legislators rejected an initiative from the administration of socialist President Ricardo Lagos to grant constitutional recognition to the country's indigenous people. Rightist political parties contended that granting a specific legal recognition to the indigenous people would amount to fostering divisions amid the Chilean society. The Lagos government had deployed an intense lobby effort in the Senate to offset the opposition, spearheaded by Secretary General to the President Francisco Huenchumilla, himself a direct Mapuche descendant. Huenchumilla bitterly denounced how the government coalition which has been ruling Chile since the country's return to democracy in 1990 had failed to keep its promises to the Mapuche and other ethnic groups striving for recognition. Indigenous people have been waiting for 13 years for a decision from Congress," said Huenchumilla, adding "this is the time to make a statement on this issue."

Chile stretches over 4 300 km (2700 mi.) along the southwestern coast of South America, a distance roughly the same as San Francisco to New York, or Moscow to Lisbon. At the same time, its width never exceeds 240 km (150 mi.), making the country more than eighteen times longer than its widest point. The most obvious factor in Chile's remarkable slenderness is the massive, virtually impassable wall of the Andes; a mountain range that is still rising and contains more than fifty active volcanic peaks
