The indigenous people monument
This monument, inaugurated in 1992 is dedicated to the "Pueblo Indígena" (Indigenous people), who originally populated Chile. It's located in Santiago's "Plaza de Armas" (downtown main square), and caused a lot of controversy because it shows the broken face of a Mapuche man, although it's a tribute to the bravery of the original inhabitants of Chile.

cette sculpture est magnifique. dommage qu'elle crée une polimique.
this sculpture is splendid. it's a pity that it creates polimique.
The sculpture makes a powerful satement. I can see why there could be son controversy over it . Nice shot of the sqare.
My appologies for all the spelling errors. I meant some controversy and square. I should proof read my statements.
Edú, tu página es realmente la zorra... Te envidio un poco, no por la beca de oftalmo, sino por esta página que tiene que ver con como "miramos" nuestra ciudad. Un abrazo grande. Te quiero mucho y aprende a "saber" como miramos para que seas un excelente oftalmólogo.

Es bueno saber ke mas allá de los abusos ke cometió Pinochet contra los indios mapuches, la mayoría de la población reivindike a ese pueblo tan minimizado.
Saludos y Una Feliz Navidad
Wow, that's really wonderful!
This is a stunning piece. I wish I could enlarge it even more.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. (At least it looks much warmer there than here - we've been contemplating fire in the fire place for the last four nights!)
