Burchard13, Nicolás Loira3, Alejandro Maass3,14 and Lucía Cifuentes1* Abstract Background: Current South American populations trace their origins mainly to three continental ancestries, i.e. European, Amerindian and African. Individual variation in relative proportions of each of these ancestries may be con‑ founded with socio‑economic factors due to population stratifcation. Therefore, ancestry is a potential confounder variable that should be considered in epidemiologic studies and in public health plans. However, there are few stud‑ ies that have assessed the ancestry of the current admixed Chilean population. This is partly due to the high cost of genome‑scale technologies commonly used to estimate ancestry. In this study we have designed a small panel of SNPs to accurately assess ancestry in the largest sampling to date of the Chilean mestizo population (n 3349) from eight cities. Our panel is also able to distinguish between the two main Amerindian components of Chileans:= Aymara from the north and Mapuche from the south. Results: A panel of 150 ancestry‑informative markers (AIMs) of SNP type was selected to maximize ancestry informa‑ tiveness and genome coverage. Of these, 147 were successfully genotyped by KASPar assays in 2843 samples, with an average missing rate of 0.012, and a 0.95 concordance with microarray data. The ancestries estimated with the panel of AIMs had relative high correlations (0.88 for European, 0.91 for Amerindian, 0.70 for Aymara, and 0.68 for Mapuche components) with those obtained with AXIOM LAT1 array. The country’s average ancestry was 0.53 0.14 European, 0.04 0.04 African, and 0.42 0.14 Amerindian, disaggregated into 0.18 0.15 Aymara and 0.25 0.13± Mapuche. However,± Mapuche ancestry± was highest in the south (40.03%) and Aymara± in the north (35.61%)± as expected from the historical location of these ethnic groups. We make our results available through an online app and demonstrate how it can be used to adjust for ancestry when testing association between incidence of a disease and nongenetic risk factors. *Correspondence: [email protected] 1 Programa de Genética Humana del ICBM, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Chile, Independencia 1027, Santiago, Chile Full list of author information is available at the end of the article © The Author(s) 2020.

Verdugo et al. Biol Res (2020) 53:15 Page 2 of 11 Conclusions: We have conducted the most extensive sampling, across many diferent cities, of current Chilean population. Ancestry varied signifcantly by latitude and human development. The panel of AIMs is available to the community for estimating ancestry at low cost in Chileans and other populations with similar ancestry.

  • By Amalia Damgaard
    By Private Chef Amalia Damgaard CHILEAN PANORAMA Although it appears slim and small, Chile is a long and narrow country about the size of Texas, with a vast coast line covering about 3,998 miles. The Pacific Ocean borders to the west; Argentina is a neighbor to the east; Bolivia, to the northeast; and Peru, to the north. Because of its geographical location, Chile has an unusual and fun landscape, with deserts, beaches, fjords, glaciers and icebergs, fertile lands, the Andes mountains, over 600 volcanoes (some active), and sub-artic conditions in the South. Since Chile is below the equator, their seasons are different from ours in the United States. So, when we have winter they have summer, and so on. Even though Chile had years of political and economic turmoil, it has evolved into a market-oriented economy with strong foreign trade. Currently, it has the strongest economy in South America, with a relatively-low crime rate, and a high standard of living. Chile is a land rich in beauty, culture, and literature. It is called “the Switzerland of South America” because of its natural splendor. World renowned poets, Pablo Neruda and Gabriela Mistral, won Nobel Prizes. The majority of Chileans are descendants of Europeans, namely Spanish, French, and German, and others in smaller numbers. Allegedly, the original inhabitants of the region prior to Spanish conquest were not natives but merely nomads who lived in the area. Their descendants are today about 3% of the population. A mixture of the so-called natives and European settlers is called “mestizo.” Today’s mestizos are so well blended that they look mostly European.

Using original documents I gathered in research trips to Chile and Spain, I am able to reconstruct the debates that went on both sides of the Atlantic over funds, protection from ’ th pirates, and indigenous slavery that so defined Chile s formative 17 century. While my conclusions are unique, frontier residents from Paraguay to northern New Spain were also dealing with volatile indigenous alliances, threats from European enemies, and questions about how their tiny settlements could get and keep the attention of the crown.

BRAND This article initiates a series in which the writer will attempt to summarize the scattered and commonly contradictory material on the present ethnic and linguistic constituency of a number of Latin Ameri- can countries. It represents some personal investigations in the field and an examination of much of the pertinent literature. Chile has been a sovereign state since the War of Independence 1810-26. This state was founded upon a nuclear area west of the Andean crest and essentially between 240 and 460 South Latitude. Through the War of the Pacific with Bolivia and Perui in 1879-1883 and peaceful agreements with Argentina, Chile acquired her present extention from Arica to Tierra del Fuego. These northern and south- ern acquisitions added little to her population but introduced numerous small ethnic and linguistic groups. Chile has taken national censuses in 1835, 1843, 1854, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1907, 1920, 1930, and the most recent one in November of 1940.

  • Aspects of Social Justice Ally Work in Chilean Historical Fiction: the Case of the Pacification of Araucanía
    Aspects of Social Justice Ally Work in Chilean Historical Fiction: The Case of the Pacification of Araucanía Katherine Karr-Cornejo Whitworth University Abstract Majority-culture writers often depict cultures different from their own, but approaching cultures to which an author does not belong can be challenging. How might we read dominant-culture portrayals of marginalized cultures that tell stories of injustice? In this paper I utilize the frame of identity development in social justice allies in order to understand the narratives dominant-culture authors use in fiction to reflect sympathetic views of indigenous justice claims. In order to do so, I study three historical novels set in Araucanía during the second half of the nineteenth century, considering historiographical orientation, representation of cultural difference, and understanding of sovereignty:Casas en el agua (1997) by Guido Eytel, Vientos de silencio (1999) by J.J. Faundes, and El lento silbido de los sables (2010) by Patricio Manns. I will show that fiction, even in validating indigenous justice claims, does not overcome past narratives of dominance. Representations can deceive us. The Mapuche warriors of Alonso de Ercilla’s epic poem La Araucana are safely in the past, and their cultural difference poses no threat to present-day nor- mative Chilean culture. However, that normative culture glorifies these fictional representations on the one hand and deprecates Mapuche communities today on the other. How did that hap- pen? Various Mapuche groups resisted Spanish colonization for centuries, restricting European expansion in today’s southern Chile. After Chilean independence from Spain in the early nine- teenth century, the conflict continued.

  • Abridged Timeline of Chile's Recent History
    ABRIDGED TIMELINE OF CHILE’S RECENT HISTORY 1970 November 3 Salvador Allende, as leader of the Unidad Popular (Popular Unity party), defeats a former president, Jorge Alessandri, to assume the presi- dency. Allende implements controversial social and economic reforms in his “Chilean Way to Socialism” program. 1973 September 11 Pinochet leads the Chilean army in a violent coup that ends Allende’s government and brings the country under a harsh military dictatorship. (Allende makes a farewell speech shortly before the capture of the palace and is believed to have committed suicide.) 1973–1990 Some 130,000 Chileans are brutally detained by officials working for Pinochet; many are tortured and an estimated 3,000 are killed or “dis- appeared.” 1974 A group of women in search of disappeared family members organize the first of the arpillera workshops. Making arpilleras that chronicle the human rights violations of Pinochet’s regime becomes not only a means for Chilean women to support their families but also a powerful form of protest and resistance. 1988 October 5 Under provisions in Chile’s constitution of 1980, a referendum is held to decide the country’s leadership. Chileans vote for a return to democ- racy and elections are held in 1989. 1990 March 11 Pinochet steps down and Patricio Alwyn is democratically elected presi- dent. (Pinochet becomes the commander-in-chief of the army.) 2006 March 11 Michelle Bachelet, whose father died three decades earlier at the hands of DINA, is sworn in as Chile’s first female president. As the defense minister in 2003, Bachelet helped formulate a declaration that Chile’s military would “never again” depose a democratically elected govern- ment.
