A few days ago, news was shared about the fires in Patagonia, fires that respond to foreign interests and the complicity of the national and provincial governments. I made my own post sharing fragments translated from independent media in Argentina. Now I want to talk about one of the consequences of the fires in Patagonia: the continued criminalization of the Mapuche people.

Since Tuesday, February 11, the Chubut Police have been raiding private homes, territories and media of several Mapuche communities, by order of the criminal enforcement judge in Esquel, Jorge Criado, and the prosecutor Carlos Cavallo.

In the words of the communitarian radio station Petü Mogeleiñ:

On Tuesday morning, February 11, we learned by telephone that the houses of Lof Cañio were being raided, as well as the house of our comrade Jorge Millán (J. M.), together with other nearby Lof, all belonging to the mountain range area of northwestern Chubut. Minutes later, comrades who were passing by to show solidarity with comrade Jorge and his family and to see how they were doing, became aware that the premises of our radio station, the Mapuche communitarian radio station Petü Mogeleiñ, located in the northwest of Chubut, in the town of El Maitén, were also being raided. Without any of its members being notified to enter, the provincial police, by order of Judge Criado and the prosecutor Carlos Cavallo, broke into our radio station, breaking the locks of the premises where the transmitter is located, the operating room, the archive room on the side of the building, the radio sum (where we have stored clothes and non-perishable food that are collected to help families in emergency situations), as well as in the home of a relative of our colleague J.M.

Raids were also carried out in Lof Pillan Mahuiza, where police beat an 80-year-old man, planted weapons in an empty house in the community, seized cell phones and arrested a woman, Victoria Dolores Fernández Núñez, who is accused without sufficient evidence of having participated in one of the fires (she is currently under house arrest). It was so violent that they even broke doors and windows, threw women to the ground and put seals on them. In the words of a community member: "At no time did they want to show us the warrant. It was only after many hours of having us detained here inside, because they would not let any of us out of our homes."

Video in which the weychafe (warrior) Moira Millán, Mauro's sister, denounces the persecution of indigenous communities by the governor of Chubut, Ignacio Torres (without subtitles). She mentions near the end that several books were confiscated from her including: a book by Angela Davis, "Pampas y lanzas" by Liborio Justo, a book on Zapatismo, a book on indigenous women's rights and another on Maya women's access to justice, "El niño resentido" by César González and "Rebeldes sin tierra" a book by Carlos Aznárez that tells the story of the "Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra" (Landless Rural Workers Movement) in Brazil.

Even one of the books she wrote, "Terricidio", was seized from one of the people who is temporarily living in Pillan Mahuiza.

One example of why representation in media matters, even to an old person like me.

My maternal grandmother was Mapuche, an indigenous South American/Chilean group. I am only 25% indigenous but I definitely inherited her hair; it's course and heavy and I often pin it up because of the weight, and I love wearing it in braids to keep it in check, but I never did it during work hours because I thought it would be seen as unprofessional.

I saw so many pictures of beautiful Lily Gladstone and indigenous men with their hair in braids on the red carpet, and it gave me the push to wear my hair in braids even at work, with the hope it can become acceptable at work too and not just for little kids.

Today, I wore braids to work! Thank you to those who lead the way and shine the light on culture where the world at large can see it.

My grandmother died when my mom was 10 years old so I never got the chance to meet her, but I feel close to her when I embrace her culture and influence. I wish I could have known her.

Cuando la palabra ha sido traicionada Es tiempo de callar y escuchar en silencio Sólo obedezco a la verdad que me regalan El río, el viento, y todos mis ancestros Cuando el atropello marca mi destino Asumo mi camino ya que no queda otro modo Y con el compromiso de este paso decidido Lo que no voy a decir ya lo dice todo
