Patagonia: Araucanian tribes exterminated Aonikenk original nation

So-called Mapuches exterminated original Aonikenk in Patagonia

Actual Río Negro




"Roca did not lead a private campaign in 1879. He assumed the role of commander-in-chief of the National Army to carry out a mission entrusted to him by Avellaneda, the president of the Argentine Nation, who had been democratically elected by the people. This campaign aimed to integrate and effectively incorporate into the Argentine geography nearly half of the territories that historically belonged to Argentina but were under the control of the Araucanian raid, characterized by the theft of cattle, women, and the provocation of fires.

The Araucanians, now known as Mapuches, arrived in Argentina around 1830, long after the Argentine Nation had already gained its independence and sovereignty. Hence, they were considered invaders. The initial group of invaders, led by Yanquetruz, consisted of approximately 100 indigenous people who settled in Neuquén and later expanded to the south and north.

The true genocide occurred when the Araucanians annihilated the Guenaken, also known as Tehuelches, who were the authentic aborigines of Northern Patagonia.

As of now, as Argentines, they possess all the rights that other Argentines have, but they cannot manipulate history to lay claim to lands that never rightfully belonged to them.

1. In 1879, Cafulcurá's troops were formidable, evident from their initial victories against the National Army. 
2. Both sides were equipped with Remington rifles. The Araucanians obtained these rifles from Chile, where the English traded them in exchange for Argentine cattle stolen during raids. In response, General Villegas led a National Army column with the aim of closing and controlling the Andean passes through which the Remington rifles reached the Araucanians.
3. Traditionally, the Araucanian Indians were known for their warlike nature. In the early stages of Spanish conquest, they devastated several significant cities in Chile, and it took the Chileans centuries to reclaim these territories.
4. Around the year 1250, the Araucanians expanded northwards and destroyed the Tiahuanaco Empire, which was larger and more advanced than the subsequent Inca Empire that emerged around 1280.
5. The current use of the term "Mapuche" and the deceptive practices employed by some to distort history are aimed at disintegrating and weakening national identity, with ulterior motives that do not serve the greater good."

Araucanians and Tehuelches

The notion of Mapuches is a fabrication that originated from the British Foreign Office.

Neither Rosas nor Roca mentioned them during the Desert Campaign, and they are absent from historical accounts, including the famous expedition to the Ranqueles Indians. Moreover, the official history, as well as the history museums of provinces such as Neuquén, Santa Cruz, Chubut, Río Negro, Mendoza, and San Juan, make no reference to them.

When did these so-called Mapuches emerge? Their flag bears resemblance to the post-apartheid South African flag, as they previously associated themselves with Mandela, and now they attempt to claim a heritage that is not their own. The true native inhabitants of these lands are the Tehuelches and Araucanos.

Let it be clear that Roca's expedition was primarily aimed at defending Argentina's sovereignty over Patagonia against Chile, not solely directed at the indigenous people, as some claim. At that time, approximately 90% of Chile's population was of indigenous origin, which holds significant historical importance. In essence, our country was protecting Patagonia from Chilean caciques who sought to claim it as their own.

According to the Salvat Encyclopedia — Dictionary — Edited in Barcelona — 1972:

MAPUCHE: Adjective - Referring to something or someone from Arauco - A province in Chile.
Masculine - The language of the Araucanians.

TEHUELCHE: Adjective and noun - Describing individuals from an Amerindian hunting tribe that, along with other groups, formed part of the so-called "Culture of the Pampas" in Argentina and Uruguay. They were largely decimated by Spanish conquerors and the Araucanians, and only a few groups remain in Tierra del Fuego.

Today, all of us born on this native soil are Argentines, and there is no room for false claims of indigenous ancestry or non-existent original peoples. Prior to the 16th century, Hispanic blood had already been present throughout Argentine territory, and the Tehuelche ethnic groups inhabited Patagonia.

The invention of the "Mapuche" identity only emerged in the 19th century. I emphasize that today we are all Argentines, and no one has the right to lay claim to ethnic groups or peoples other than those that belong to Argentina. Any such attempt would be tantamount to supporting the efforts of English, American, and Israeli interests to dismantle and weaken our beloved homeland.

The propagation of the Mapuche ideology, driven by Marxists who have turned indigenism into a state matter, must be challenged at its core. Regrettably, not only venal politicians and journalists paid by the system contribute to disseminating this infamous falsehood, but some have also been misled, not always out of innocence.

Even bishops and priests, adhering to Third World positions, promote these untruths without question, perpetuating these fallacies.

They have gone to the unimaginable extent of misleading Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, asserting that the revered Saint Ceferino was Mapuche rather than Tehuelche. It is difficult to believe that the Patagonian bishops were unaware of the deceitful nature of this maneuver, considering their elevated positions within the hierarchy and presumably, their knowledge of the general history of their homeland.

Let us fully utilize the incredible medium of technology to rectify the misconceptions of many Argentines on critical matters like the one at hand."
