Hi Class!
How are you?
Well, today I write about the Mapuche Conflict.
The Mapuche conflict is very old, problems with this ethnicity existed since spanish colonization. Settlers did not respected to originary ethnic when they come to american lands. Spanish invaded and stole lands of indigenous people.
Actually, Mapuches struggle for land and protest to demand respect for their traditions and culture in general.
Mapuches were processed to terrorist laywer, and this conden is terrible compared with other process.
Mapuches consider that their conden is unfair, so, this year, Between Monday 12th July and 8th October a Mapuche group of prisions of the south of Chile, start a hungry strike. Razon to this is that Mapuches protesting to “end of Terrorist laywer”.
Medias to several days not reported about hungry strike, so Government was not preocupated this theme, people began to protesting to extraofficials channels and members of government were obliged to consider the problema and search solutions to solve conflict.
In the country, there were several protest in support of the strikes. Many people also held fasts to support the striker Mapuche.
President Piñera proposed creation of a dialogue between mapuches representatives y govermment representatives. After several days of negotiation was posible a according to finish hunger strike.
I think that, in general, Traditions and peoples of origiunarias cultures are not respected, since the time of spanish colonist, to the current govermment. So, in my opinion, the recent hunger strike was an extreme measura, but needed to be heard.
Well, this was my blog of this week.
See you classmates !
Lucky!
Hi Tamara,

When you talk about something happening in the future, you should say, "Today, I WILL talk about..."
-Also, when something has existed or happened during a period of time, say, "problems with this ethnicity HAVE existed since Spanish colonization." PRESENT PERFECT TENSE.
-And, "Settlers did not respec(ted) (to) THE originary ethnicITY when they come to AMERICAN lands"
-the word "actually" means "really". You want to say, "At present", "nowadays".
- Say, "Mapuches were (processed to) JUDGED ACCORDING TO terrorist LAW, and this (conden) SENTENCE is terrible compared (with) TO other PEOPLE´S SENTENCES ( process).
You talk about "prisoners" and a "hunger stike to put an end to the terrorist LAW"
"LAWYER" is a person who represents a client.
It´s strange, Tamara. The following paragraph has words in Spanish, why? Did you use Google´s translation programe?
"Medias to several days not reported about hungry strike, so Government was not preocupated this theme, people began to protesting to extraofficials channels and members of government were obliged to consider the problema and search solutions to solve conflict."
The structure of this post is really weak, in general. I recommend, you use the exercises at the Plataforma. And don´t use any kind of translation programes because you are cheating yourself and it is penalized with a 1.0.
