Mapuche literature refers to the body of written and oral works produced by the Mapuche people, an Indigenous group from southern Chile and Argentina. This literature encompasses a variety of genres, including poetry, storytelling, and songs, often reflecting the community's history, culture, and connection to the land. Traditionally, Mapuche literature was passed down orally, preserving myths, legends, and teachings. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of written works by Mapuche authors, who explore themes of identity, resistance, and cultural heritage, contributing to the broader landscape of Indigenous literature in the Americas.
