This article examines forms of state dependence in a Mapuche indigenous territory on the coast of the Araucanía Region, Chile. Public and private programmes have been implemented in this area to assist the development of a territory which is considered ‘poor’ and contains a large percentage of Mapuche people. We analyse three moments of state action from the 1990s down to the present, identifying forms of state dependence which persist and evolve; relations with local counterpart organisations and the role of state employees become crucial in these new forms of dependence. On this basis, we conclude that today there is less expressed demand for autonomy and self-determination processes among indigenous communities and their leaders in the studied territory, replaced by a demand for more public programmes and resources in pursuit of an ‘improvement’ in their quality of life. This is occurring despite the current context in Chile of greater political visibility of the indigenous problem and indigenous claims, leading in turn to more repressive police action.

智利马普切土著领土国家依赖的持久性和变化

本文考察了智利阿劳卡尼亚地区海岸马普切土著领土上的国家依赖形式。在该地区实施了公共和私人计划，以帮助被认为是“贫困”且拥有大量马普切人的地区的发展。我们分析了从 1990 年代到现在的三个国家行动时刻，确定了持续和演变的国家依赖形式；与当地对应组织的关系以及国家雇员的作用在这些新的依赖形式中变得至关重要。在此基础上，我们得出的结论是，今天在所研究领土内的土著社区及其领导人之间对自治和自决进程的表达需求较少，取而代之的是对更多公共项目和资源的需求，以追求“改善”他们的生活质量。尽管在智利当前的背景下，土著问题和土著要求的政治知名度更高，但这种情况仍在发生，从而导致警察采取更严厉的镇压行动。
