Mapuche Sculpture

Art  and history are a large part of the Chilean culture.  The sculpture above, depicts the Mapuche people who have been fragmented into numerous small communities over years of opression. 

Below is a picture of Sue & Jesse, 2004.  We are standing at the top of a scenic overlook, near the downtown area.
