For the many Mapuche and non-Mapuche peasant communities, land and native forests were depicted as common property and not belonging to the state or to large estates, and consequently they demanded their rights to land as a means to subsist by farming.
Para las multiplicidades de comunidades Mapuche y campesinos no-Mapuche, las tierras y bosque nativo representaban una propiedad común y no exclusivamente estatal ni de grandes haciendas y, por lo tanto, clamaban derechos a la tierra para así cultivar medios de subsistencia.
