"Beyond land and economic resistance, some Mapuche communities have severed ties with the Chilean legal system entirely. Lof Temucuicui, one of the most prominent self-governing Mapuche territories, operates outside state jurisdiction, enforcing its own laws and defending its territory against police incursions. This strategy represents a decisive break from traditional indigenous activism, which often seeks accommodation within existing state structures. The Mapuche movement is not advocating for greater representation or improved legal protections; it is challenging the legitimacy of the state itself." https://jexblackmore.substack.com/p/dissent-index-02-mapuche-resistance
