MAPUCHE TRIBE
A Mapuche leader known as the lonko is in charge of guiding the community and safeguarding the people's traditions. The lonko is frequently chosen by the community and is seen as a respected leader who is intelligent and just. The system of norms and rules that direct Mapuche life is known as the admapu. It covers a wide range of customs and beliefs, from how to hold religious rituals to how to resolve disputes among neighbours. Instead of resorting to violence or going to court, the Mapuche have a long history of conflict resolution through dialogue and mediation. The lonko or other community leaders frequently strive to bring the parties together to find a peaceful resolution when disputes emerge between community members.

YAMPARA TRIBE
The ayllu system, which has existed for thousands of years, is what governs the Yampara community. This is a political, geographical, and ethnically homogeneous group of indigenous communities. Some groups still adhere to this fundamental system today in an effort to uphold their original sociopolitical beliefs. Each territory has a justice administration to oversee community laws. The original authorities, which include senior members and former authority officials, are the Jatun Juraja and Paqtachaymanta Kuraka.

PANCHE TRIBE
In the 16th century, the Spaniards brought with them a disease to which the Panche had no immunity and it greatly reduced the population. They also imposed their own laws and governance, resulting in the loss of the Panche cultural heritage and traditional practices. The descendants of the Panche in the Andean region are facing challenges such as poverty, marginalization, and lack of political representation. They also face the challenge of preserving and reviving their ancestral cultures and traditions.
