In a context of dispossession against the Mapuche people, 7 in-depth interviews developed during the years 2020 and 2021 are applied to women and men from the Mapuche ethnic group who are currently working in academic, organizational and political work. The article seeks to debate the social, cultural and economic assimilation of the Mapuche population in its “Chileanization” process. In this process, the violation of Mapuche identity, racial and class segregation towards those who decide to migrate and socially mobilize, as well as the logic of cultural subordination that constantly undermines Mapuche freedom, their language, their customs, their worldview and, in general, their right to dissent. KEY WORDS: Cultural assimilation, dispossession, discrimination, racism.
