		Mapuches believe that their language is intrinsically linked with the land, as they define themselves through their relationship with it, and to be separated from it is considered a form of death for them as a people.
		The Mapuche language, however, did not have a written form until comparatively recently; what we know of Mapuche history often comes from texts written during Spanish domination by military or ecclesiastical historians, who from the standpoint of the “true” religion tended to pre-judge Mapuche culture and religion, deeming them to be false cults and superstitions.
		The Mapuches’ recovery of their language through the establishing of a standard written form for it is therefore a means of reappropriation of their own culture and wisdom from those who would undermine it.
