Annotation

In Chile, two public policies centering on teaching-learning amid primary school children have been effected to add to the growth of indigenous peoples' language and culture and to intercultural citizen formation: 1) the Bilingual Intercultural Education Programme (PEIB); and 2) the Indigenous Language Sector (SLI). This paper valued Mapuche knowledge perception amid schoolchildren in schools in the Mapuche-Pewenche territory of the Araucanía Region. In both cases (schools registered/non registered for these policies), the children admitted that knowledge is in essence conveyed within the family.
