“We are very happy to be here, to be able to be part of the culture that continues to endure over time, along with what the loom is, which has been maintained for decades, through our grandmothers,” said Daniela Ancao , one of the artisans.
The fabric used a ton of wool from the sheep breed Dohne Merino, from Tierra del Fuego, which was washed and dyed by the cooperative of artisans from the community of Puren.
“This is a people that lives by reason of nature, in protection of nature and also for its rights we are here, this is a right that we have, the right to self-determination, to the free expression of our arts,” told Ariel Traipi, president of the Chilka Foundation, promoter of the initiative.
Before beginning the activity that attracted the locals and the international press, the Mapuche performed a traditional ritual by the sea.
