Children’s e-book launched in indigenous Chilean language [7th Grade]


A new e-book and accompanying documentary will be released Thursday in Chile’s indigenous Mapuche language. The e-book, called “Epew Pichikeche ñi Rakizuam” (The Thoughts of Children), is written in both Mapudungun and Spanish. 

Youth from six schools in the southern cities of Puerto Saavedra and Carahue, where much of the population is Mapuche, wrote the books in special workshops where students were empowered to tell their own stories. 

“The most important thing is that it is focused on the children’s work,” Carolina Isla, project coordinator of the e-book, told The Santiago Times.

“The kids made the story without their families or teachers, they independently created the story,” she said.

Provide Opiniones in at least 35 words.

Deadline: May 31st, 2013

  22. My opinion about the children have taken out a Mapuche language book is that this very well because the Mapuche have left aside and not taken into account and also on the other hand is good because children need to learn their culture own country.

  24. Hello:)
    to me this idea is very important because it is a native village is said to have been in history, then they should keep their customs and languaje that is being lost,
    it is best that they do their own children which is great as this maybe help them in the future. c:

  34. Well, I think that this book is very interesting, since they are two languages successful, also because the children will be able to express themselves better, are going to be able to understand better between these two cultures and maybe going to be able to understand between these two cultures.
