  Mapuche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Contrary to popular belief, the Quechua word arauco (rebel), is not the root of araucano: it is more likely derived from the placename Arauco, meaning "clayey water".
The Mapuche had an economy based on agriculture; their social organisation consisted of extended families, under the direction of a "lonko" or chief, although in times of war they would unite in larger groupings and elect a "toqui" ('axe-bearer') to lead them.
This war is known as the War of Arauco, and is immortalized in Alonso de Ercilla's epic poem La Araucana.

 "That the rulers should sleep without bad dreams": Anti-Epic Discourse in La Numancia and Arauco domado, by Barbara A. ...
James Parr has argued that for comedias whose generic designations provide a critical quandary because of the “juxtaposition” in the final scenes of death and marriage —the hallmarks of tragedy and comedy— the search for a generic “dominant” should be abandoned; the juxtaposition should be the focus of generic analysis (159).
In La Numancia and Arauco domado, the combination of several genres results in the even more complex phenomenon which I have termed “generic indeterminacy.” This claim of indeterminacy is similar to that which post-structuralist criticism asserts for textual meaning as a whole, in that it validates the significance of a lack of closure.
Arauco domado has not received much critical attention, but the work that has been done to date is similarly limited.

A member of the Philadelphia Orchestra since 1986, oboist Jonathan Blumenfeld demonstrates why the oboe should not be relegated to only Baroque chamber music and orchestral works.
The oldest piece on this recording, a trio for oboe, piano, and violin by Pennsylvania-based composer Ingrid Arauco, dates from 1990 and explores both the lamenting and sharp sides of the oboe's tone.
Curt Cacioppo's fantastical concerto for oboe and string orchestra with harpsichord moves seamlessly between angular, modernist themes, ethereal passages in ancient Arabic modes, and technical passages inspired by the "avant-garde side of Vivaldi."

 Copec Credit Rating Downgraded by DCR to 'BBB+'; Arauco Credit Rating Reaffirmed
These factors, in addition to the prospect of stronger cash flows during 2000 and 2001 from potentially higher average pulp prices, should minimize the impact upon the company's capital structure of the increase in its dividend payout ratio from 30 percent of net income to 50 percent.
In the past two years, Arauco's capacity has increased due to the construction of several sawmills, a plywood facility, the expansion and renovation of some of its pulp mills and the purchase of a small Chilean pulp mill.
In the future, DCR believes that Arauco's EBITDA-to-interest expense coverage ratio will range between 9 times (bleached softwood kraft pulp prices at US$600 per metric ton) and 5 times (bleached softwood kraft pulp prices at US$450 per metric ton), and its debt-to-EBITDA ratio will be between 1.4 times ($600) and 2.5 times ($450).
