Mapuche Flag Atop Baquedano Statue Sparks Historical Reflection

Incredible photo by @Su_hidalgo. The flag at the top is that of the Mapuche people. The statue is of Manuel Baquedano, a 19th-century president who “pacified Araucania”, incorporating it into the recently independent territory. The Mapuche had the status of a nation recognized by the Spanish crown. This is not just any photo.
