Descripción: Periodista. Interesado en la historia, cosmovisión y cultura mapuches, particularmente obras de autores mapuches. En el movimiento en pos de la soberanía mapuche -sin ideología político-partidista wayna. Aprendí a amar y a admirar al pueblo mapuche -y todos los originarios americanos- recién en 1992, gracias al libro antropológico 'América 11 de octubre de 1492' que leí en Alemania en 1993.

description: My name is Mark Briesmaster and I have a great interest in the Mapuche Indians. Although I have never visited Chile I do have friends who are from there. I am in the process of learning the Mapundungun language myself and find your work and others to be very interesting. I would very much like to be added to your list as I am in the process of creating my own web page using the mapuches as my focus. I plan to move to Temuco in the year 2000 in order to learn the language and pursue my Ph.D. I am currently a Spanish professor in Massachusettes.
