description The commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the coup d'état in Chile once again brought to the fore the issue of political violence during this period, but there have been few commemorative events in which the ethnic variable of repression and its impact on daily life of the victimized indigenous communities. Therefore, this work aims to provide an intercultural vision of human rights violations in indigenous contexts based on the possibilities offered by ethnographic methodology. The ethnographic material comes from several seasons of fieldwork in Araucanía in which a series of cases that occurred in Mapuche communities during the military dictatorship were recorded, as well as from participant observation with Mapuche and non-Mapuche human rights organizations in relation whit processes to justice and reparation. Finally, it is intended to offer an ontological approach to the field of human rights and political violence taking as reference the information accumulated by the tradition of Amerindian studies, in which topics such as corporality, illness, non-humans, the concept of person or dreams, constitute privileged spaces to explore the meaning that indigenous peoples give to this type of situations.

Therefore, this work aims to provide an intercultural vision of human rights violations in indigenous contexts based on the possibilities offered by ethnographic methodology. The ethnographic material comes from several seasons of fieldwork in Araucanía in which a series of cases that occurred in Mapuche communities during the military dictatorship were recorded, as well as from participant observation with Mapuche and non-Mapuche human rights organizations in relation whit processes to justice and reparation. Finally, it is intended to offer an ontological approach to the field of human rights and political violence taking as reference the information accumulated by the tradition of Amerindian studies, in which topics such as corporality, illness, non-humans, the concept of person or dreams, constitute privileged spaces to explore the meaning that indigenous peoples give to this type of situations. La conmemoración del quincuagésimo aniversario del golpe de Estado en Chile volvió a poner en primer plano el tema de la violencia política durante este período, pero han sido pocos los eventos conmemorativos en los que se ha abordado la variable étnica de la represión y su impacto en la vida cotidiana de las comunidades indígenas victimadas. Por ello, este trabajo pretende aportar una visión intercultural a las violaciones de derechos humanos en contextos indígenas a partir de las posibilidades que ofrece la metodología etnográfica. El material etnográfico proviene de varias temporadas de trabajo de campo en la Araucanía en las que se registraron una serie de casos ocurridos en comunidades mapuche durante la dictadura militar, así como de la observación participante con organizaciones de derechos humanos mapuches y no mapuches en relación con los procesos de justicia y reparación. Finalmente, se pretende ofrecer una aproximación ontológica al campo de los derechos humanos y la violencia política tomando como referencia la información acumulada por la tradición de los estudios amerindios, en los que temas como la corporalidad, la enfermedad, los no humanos, el concepto de persona o los sueños, constituyen espacios privilegiados para explorar el significado que los pueblos indígenas le dan a este tipo de situaciones.
