Translation note: In the Southern Cone—Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina—the phrase used for Indigenous peoples (pueblos originarios) is “Originary peoples.” The term “First Nations” (used primarily in Canada) is the closest in English but not quite the same. The author notes the imprecisions involved in translating Indigenous concepts from Mapuche to Spanish, which is a settler language. These imprecisions are replicated in the translation to English.

The brief for this project was more a result of the activism of the Mapuche health coordinator of Nueva Imperial than the intercultural advancement of the Health Service.
