DESCRIPTION:Join us on Mapuche Awareness Day!\n\nMapuche Awareness Day invites us to 
 reflect on the disappearance of Julia Chuñil Catricura, a Mapuche leader 
 and president of the Putreguel Indigenous Community in Máfil, Chile. Julia 
 was last seen on November 8, 2024, and more than 70 days after her 
 disappearance, there are still no clear answers about her whereabouts. Her 
 fight to defend Mapuche territory and her constant denunciation of threats 
 from forestry companies are at the heart of this injustice.\n\nWhere is 
 Julia Chuñil? This question calls us to action, to demand justice for a 
 woman who has been brave in her defense of the Mapuche people, facing the 
 interests of the economic and political power that threatens her land and 
 her life. At this event, we will reflect on her story, her legacy, and the 
 reasons behind her disappearance.\n\nPresented by Mapuche Chief, Lonko 
 Juanita Millal, head of the Chol-Chol Mapuche Community in Oakland, 
 California. She is a political asylum seeker living in Huchiun, land of the 
 Ohlone people (AKA East Bay, California). The Mapuche people are in the 
 struggle against modern day colonization in Chile. Lonko (chief) Juanita is 
 a holder of Mapuche culture and wisdom, a weichafe (warrior protector of 
 mother earth), and a community elder and organizer. She has fled violence 
 and political persecution in Chile and is seeking political asylum in the 
 U.S.\n\nLonko Juanita has dedicated her life to uplift Mapuche culture, 
 protect the land, waters and the people, creating solidarity among 
 marginalized communities and bringing awareness of the Mapuche peoples’ 
 present day fight against colonization, displacement, incarceration and 
 violent repression.\n\nThis space is an opportunity to learn more about the 
 context surrounding this case and question the role of the State in 
 protecting Mapuche rights. We demand Julia's appearance alive and justice 
 for her community! Don't miss it.\n
