To begin with, some people consider that the original Chilean tribes have all but died out, and those that are left tend to be treated like second class citizens, why? Why do they live out of the city? If people live inside or out of the city in the same country, they remain the same nationality. So, why some people, especially people live in the city, discriminate against people live out the city? For their customs or traditions, for their features, for don’t have the same opportunities, and so on. People should be more humble and accepting them like they are, and trying to learn them too maybe can help to improve their lives and styles of life.
On the other hand, I consider identifying with them above all when I dance in my folklore group. In my group, we see different styles dances and customs and we try to do the same than them such as wearing their clothes or typical steps. Therefore, I consider identifying with them and I try doing my best.
In my opinion, “Chilean culture” means for me like traditions and customs that only Chileans people do such as flying a kite or the dance festival of La Tirana among other things. However, there are a lot of customs that Chilean people copy to other countries to name a few Halloween or Merry Christmas; nowadays are parts of our own customs.
