| Publisher Description: Interesting (but Incomplete) History of Indigenous Peoples of ChileDefinition of Chile: "A republic in southwestern South America, on the Pacific Coast. 286,396 square miles (741,765 square kilometers). Capital: Santiago."https: //www.dictionary.com/browse/chileAmedee Francois Frezier, Edmond Halley; A Voyage to the South-sea, and Along the Coasts of Chili and Peru, in the Years 1712, 1713, and 1714: Particularly Describing the Genius and Constitution of the Inhabitants, as Well Indians as Spaniards ...; J Bowyer; 1717Amedee Francois Frezier and Edmond Halley write: "The Indians of Chili have no Kings or Sovereigns among them to prescribe Laws to them: Every Head of a Family was Master in his own House; but those Families increasing, those Chiefs are become Lords of many Vassals, who obey, without paying them any Tribute: The Spaniards call them Caciques. All their Prerogative consists in commanding in Time of War, and in exercising Justice. They succeed in that Dignity by the Right of Eldership, and every one of them is independent of any other, and absolute Master in his own Dominions. I do not only speak of those who are Savage, or Unconquer'd, but even of those who are reckoned Subdued; for tho', by a Treaty of Peace, they have consented to own the King of Spain for their Prince, they are not obliged to pay him any other Acknowledgment, but a Supply of Men to repair the Fortifications, and defend themselves against the other Indians. The Number of these is reckon'd to be 14 or 1500." |
