notes:
|
Text notes that the Spanish were the first to name these people. The encounter took place in May 1643 in southern Chile near Fort Castro or Calbuco.In 1642 the VOC (Dutch East India Company) and the WIC (West India Company) sent a fleet under Hendrik Brouwer to Chile to conquer the city of Valdivia and to take the Spanish gold mines. In 1643 Brouwer conquered the island of Chiloe and the city Valdivia, making him military governor beginning in May 1643. Brouwer died on August 7, 1643, and the vice-general Elias Herckmans took control.Image title from following page.
