EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving by Luigi Giarre, from Giulio Ferrrario's Costumes Antique and Modern of All Peoples (Il Costume Antico e Moderno di Tutti i Popoli), published in Florence in 1842, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Indigenous Mapuche people of Chile. The Mapuche, also known as the Araucanians, are the largest indigenous group in Chile and Argentina, with a long and complex history that predates the arrival of Europeans. In this image, Mapuche men are depicted playing the traditional game of ciueca or palin. The game, which resembles hockey, is played with two teams using long sticks to hit a large ball made of animal hide or wood. The objective is to score goals by hitting the ball into the opposing team's goalpost. The Mapuche people have a deep connection to their land and their traditions, and their games and sports reflect their cultural values and way of life. Ciueca or palin was not only a source of entertainment but also a way to strengthen community bonds and hone physical skills necessary for hunting and warfare. The intricate details of the Mapuche players' clothing and accessories in this engraving provide a fascinating insight into their customs and manners. The Mapuche are known for their distinctive dress, which includes brightly colored ponchos, long skirts, and wide-brimmed hats. The men in this image wear feathered headdresses and carry slingshots, while the women wear necklaces made of shells and other natural materials. This beautiful and historic image not only showcases the Mapuche people's love for their traditional game but also highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of indigenous communities around the world.
