Question

History project.....

Answer 1

the Mapuche are really dark people, while the Arucanos are really light skinned or blond, due to intermingling once with a ship of Dutch sailors and others.

The mapuche are employed mainly as bread bakers.  

The country has an extensive English/British population and sector, as well as equally so with Scandinavians, Germans, lesser with Americans.  Many cultures above have entire enclaves.

Chlean food isn't like Mexican food, though a lot of food has German overtones and preparation.  The whole atmosphere in Chile is one of being in Europe.

Answer 2

90% of Chileans have indian blood and are of mixed ancestry (Indian and European). There is a percentage of full blooded indians in Chile called Araucanos or Mapuches about 10%

Answer 3

In the 1992 Chilean census, 10.5% of the total population surveyed declared themselves indigenous, irrespective of whether they currently practiced or spoke a native culture and language; almost one million people (9.7% of the total) declared themselves Mapuche, 0.6% declared to be Aymara, and a 0.2% reported as Rapanui.

At the 2002 census, only indigenous people that still practiced a native culture or spoke a native language were surveyed: 4.6% of the population (692,192 people) fit that description; of these, 87.3% declared themselves Mapuche.

Answer 4

The Mapuches, also known as Araucanos,  are the main indigenous people of Chile and inhabit mostly in the south of the country. The aymaras are few and close to the Bolivian border and Rapa Nui are from Easter Island so not "quite" indigenous to the continent but rather of Polynesian descent.
