Before reading I recommend you see this video for you to understand because we chose the concept of reconciliation in Chile.

The challenge we have chosen is the “reconciliation” between the Mapuche and Huinca (common Chilean).
The task is to create an object that includes the media of Gold and Ceramics. The object is shaped pendant reliquary inside it contains the representation of a pinion (fruit or seed typical Mapuche culture); outside the shrine hung hooves modules together with red braids (red blood relationship to the Mapuche that we Chileans, “we have the same blood”). The order will be delivered to the patriarch of the family and will have to pass from generation to generation (generation gesture).
Pinion will be made with clay, which contain the seeds of Araucaria (Pinion). This pinion can be planted in future generations, recalling the gesture of returning the land to the Mapuche. The reliquary will be made of copper, which is a very typical Chilean territory material. Chilean family (for each group member) conduct braids, which hung goat hooves. This is alluding to the generational gesture, bracelets braids will have to withdraw (Mapuche) and quedárselas memory of the object as you step through your hands. The idea is that the last person who receives this object plant this seed to grow a gesture Araucaria and the recovery of their land is generated. How to record this act is through photography and video.
The ritual will be held in the Mapuche New Year, which is the 24th of June in a Ruca located in Lampa (RM, Province of Chacabuco). But the idea is previously performed relations with the people living in this area, there would begin the ritual.
