List

The supposed Chilean Government official classification of chilean native ethnical groups can be infered from a legislation list in a page of the Chilean Government institute of native affairs:

• Pueblo Mapuche / Mapuche people
• Pueblo Aimara y Atacameño / Aymara and Atacaman people
• Pueblo Aimara / Aymara people
• Pueblo Atacameño / Atacaman people
• Pueblo Colla / Colla people
• Pueblo Rapa Nui / Rapa Nui people
• Pueblos Australes / Southern peoples
• Aónikenk o Tehuelches / Aónikenk or Tehuelche people
• Selknam u Onas / Selknam or Ona people
• Kawashkar o Alacalufes / Kawashkar or Alacaluf people
• Yamanas / Yamana people

A previous version of this listing, at http://www.presidencia.cl/, included also the Huilliche (now considered a fraction of the Mapuche), and the Quechua (a.k.a. “Inca” — now bundled with the Aymara?)
