Using Hilde Lindemann's concept of counternarratives as discursive form that can repair damaged idenitites by master narratives, this essay analizes the work of Mapuche journalist Pedro Cayuqueo, in particular his chronicles. We aim to remark how the Mapuche community have constructed a discourse of resistance against the official history and the media which generally offer a deformed vision of the Mapuche identity. Reviewing historical aspects of the unequal struggle between the Chiliean State and the Mapuches, from the occupation on the late nineteenth century, through the Pinochet dictatorship and to the present after the return of democracy, with his chronicles Cayuqueo builds bridges that connect the past and the present of the Mapuche in Chile, rewriting a history that can have resonances even for the future. Along with other intellectuals in Chile, Pedro Cayuqueo forsees a future in which the Mapuche community can achieve political and social goals such as national liberation and historical reconstruction. These achievements could promote a closer relation with the diaspora, even the repatriation to form part of a renew Mapuche national unification.
