Unreal Indigenous Marriage Customs Of Chile.


Explore the rich and sacred traditions of the Mapuche people of Chile, the largest Indigenous group in the country. In this in-depth video, we dive into the traditional Mapuche marriage ceremony, known as Elwedkan, which is far more than a simple union of two people. It’s a powerful fusion of family alliances, spiritual rituals, and communal celebration.

This video takes you through:

  • Courtship and arranged marriages

  • The symbolic “raptu” (bride kidnapping) tradition

  • Pre-wedding purification rituals

  • The sacred wedding led by a Machi (spiritual leader)

  • Traditional clothing, instruments, and ceremonial food

  • Feasting, music, and communal dancing

  • Post-marriage responsibilities and gender roles

  • Modern influences and evolving customs

Whether you are passionate about Indigenous cultures, Latin American traditions, or anthropological customs, this video provides a powerful lens into the timeless beauty of Mapuche life.
