| Summary: | For over twenty years, Indian populations in Chile have been the subject of a series of intercultural policies aimed at the valorization and integration of their cultural differences. This article proposes not approaching these intercultural policies as a partitioned issue of social transformations, but rather grasping them in their interconnections with other reconfigurations emerging in Chilean public policies over the past few decades, particularly in the field of public health. The analysis will focus on a programme of valorization and support for traditional Mapuche medicine in the public health system, as it was implemented in Santiago, with its sizeable urbanized Mapuche population. Through an ethnographic investigation dealing with the concrete effects brought about by these intercultural health programmes, the article tackles questions such as factors of inequality in access to health care, the ethnicisation of assuming responsibility, transformation of the Indian’s status and role in post-dictatorial Chilean society and the reconfiguration of links between identity, cultural diversity and inequalities. |
