well... we've been told already on these forums that the descendants of the original conquesting Spanish are now irrevocably tied into the bloodlinesof the natives so that there are no “squatters” from Europe, simply Argentinians.

Therefore there is no conflict between the indigenous and the 'European Argentines'..clearly Chile hasn't been as efficient in their final solution as have the Argentines...

and there are still indigenes wondering why these european squatters dont give them the right to self-determination...

odd that...

pelotdous 1 & 2

this article is about chile, you tw@ts, not about argentina.
and it´s chubut not chabut.

of course we have been a lot more successful than the chilotes regarding to the integration of the indigenous here.

funny that these english wannabes talk about final solutions...
ask the american indians, tasmanians
