Question

A siege by these people was defeated after the mistress of the defending commander beheaded seven of these people’s chiefs and threw their heads into their camp. These people’s traditional assembly, the coyag, was the basis for a parliament proposed by the Frenchman Orélie-Antoine I (“OH-ray-lee an-TWON”), who declared himself king of these people. One expedition against these people was defeated (15[1]-5[1])at the Battle of Tucapel by their toqui (“toh-KEE”), or war chief, (*) Lautaro. Uprisings by these people led to the abandonment of settlements in their lands south of the Bio-Bío River. The Conquest of the Desert (10[1])targeted (10[1])the (10[1])traditional (10[1])territories of these people and the Teheulches. Pedro de Valdivia died while fighting these people, who attacked Santiago. For 10 points, name these indigenous people (10[1])native to much of southern Chile. ■END■ (10[2])
