Wallmapu
Historical territory of the Mapuche people
Wallmapu is the word in the Mapuche language to say "Universe"[1] or "set of surrounding lands", currently used by some historians to describe the historical territory inhabited by the Mapuche people of southern South America.[2] The term was coined in the early 1990s by Indigenist groups[3] but gained traction in the 2000s as the Mapuche conflict in Araucanía intensified.[4] Some view the Wallmapu as being composed of two main parts Ngulumapu in the west and Puelmapu in the east, with the southern part of Ngulumapu being known as Futahuillimapu.[5]
On May 19, 2022 a conference on the topic "The threat of Wallmapu" (Spanish: La amenaza de Wallmapu) was held in the city of Neuquén, Argentina.[6]
