Wallmapu is a name for the traditional territory and historical country of the Mapuche people of southern South America.[1] The term was coined in the early 1990s by Indigenist groups[2] but gained traction in the 2000s as the Mapuche conflict in Araucanía intensified.[3] Some view the Wallmapu as being composed of two main parts Ngulumapu in the west and Puelmapu in the east, with the southern part of Ngulumapu being known as Futahuillimapu.[4]

Wenufoye flag created in 1992 by the indigenous organization called Council of All Lands ; main symbol of the Mapuche autonomy movement, in Chile (mainly) and Argentina.

On May 19, 2022 a conference on the topic "The threat of Wallmapu" (Spanish: La amenaza de Wallmapu) was held in the city of Neuquén, Argentina.[5]
