Dia de la Raza

National holiday. The holiday has been renamed and reclaimed, but the conversation continues. Chile's indigenous peoples, especially the Mapuche, have shaped the country's identity, its land disputes, its politics, and its future. Today is for listening.

Mache Fetich Xwe

The fetish markets open their doors for a day of education and exchange. Healers demonstrate traditional remedies, priests explain the uses of rare herbs and ingredients, and visitors learn that what looks mysterious often has a practical medicinal purpose behind it. The market is a pharmacy, a school, and a spiritual supply store all in one.
