Abstract

Analysis on four researches recently published about Araucanía in historical time. The author criticises the idea that support the importance of native culture and the independence against the influence of spanish and chilean people. Partially, the debate is related to the mixture of culture and the "parlamentos" or peace meetings between both antagonists.
