To continue the immersion into the culture and learning about the indigenous people, yesterday we visited a Ruka in a small town outside of Viña. Ruka is the traditional house of the Mapuche people. Students listened to a talk about the Mapuche people, they sang in Mapudungun and then had the opportunity to taste traditional food and drinks. After class today, we went to a local sports complex and students had a lesson in Palin. Palin is a game played by the Mapuche people.
