The Chilean state’s invasion of Wallmapu led to the violent dispossession of the territory south of the BioBio River. The agrarian reform implemented by Salvador Allende’s government aimed to return part of the territory to its rightful inhabitants. However, the military dictatorship would again strike the Mapuche people. Even so, today the community of Trangol steadfastly continues the process of recovering the territory.
