Chilean cops pummel Indigenous rights protestors with water cannons, tear gas Violent clashes erupted on the streets of Santiago on Sunday morning as protesters demanded self-determination and an end to political persecution of the Mapuche people, Chile's largest indigenous group. One demonstrator pointed to the “same repression” faced by people in Gaza and Wallampu, the ancestral territory of the Mapuche people. They have long been calling for recognition in the only Latin American country that has yet to acknowledge its indigenous people in its constitution. #Santiago - Boost Source: RT News
