People of the Land: Dialogue series with the Mapuche Territorial
Alliance will bring together two Indigenous leaders from the Mapuche
Nation –Alberto Curamil and Miguel Melin– with Indigenous activists and
scholars from North America to exchange ideas and share experiences
about land recuperation, opposition to extractive industries on their
traditional territories, customary law, and Indigenous childhood,
language, and education.
The Mapuche Territorial Alliance (ATM) is one of the grassroots
organizations based on the ancestral territory of the Mapuche Nation in
the South of Chile – the Gulu Mapu, or west side of the Andes. The ATM’s
