Mapuche Warriors Attack Lumber Camp

Communique:
"As the Organs of Resistance of the Mapuche Communities of Lleu Lleu, we communicate to our People and to public opinion the following:

1. At 21 hours, on December 18, an attack was made against a camp of Forestal Mininco SA., located in the large estate of Ranquilwe, at the river of lake Lleu Lleu.

2. This action was made by a column of 20 weichafe (Mapuche warriors) with shotguns, slingshots and witruwe (Mapuche slings), harassing forestal guards and burning the surrounding pine forest, in an action that lasted 3 hours, without injuries or arrests in the retreat.

3. This action was realized in support of the process of lands repossession of the Community of Ranquilwe, for the reconstruction of our Wallmapuche (Mapuche Territory) and in rejection of the negotiations between Forestal, the CONADI (National Corporation of Indigenous Development) and some leaders of said community.

Finally, we make a strong call to the communities that are in struggle to maintain unity and to not be influenced by the intervention of divisionary agents and pseudo-fighters, that dignity is not for sale, that blood and the land has no price, that we aren't chileans, that we are mapuche and that we can never forget this.

FORESTRY COMPANIES OUT OF MAPUCHE TERRITORY!!!

For the memory of Lemun and Catrileo. Not a minute of Silence, nor of surrender. An entire life for struggle and construction.
