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

This does not necessarily agree with the local ethnographical and linguistic reality, nor with flag usage of these groups.

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?)
