KennelPeullaLogo            THE WORD PEULLA


A long time ago I became very familiar to the word PEULLA found in the Mapuche language (mapudungun or mapudugan).
The Mapuche people are the original indigenous inhabitants of the southern cone of South America.
To be precise geographically: central-south west of Argentina and central-south east of Chile.
Their name is composed of two words: MAPU = earth or land and CHE = people.
The correct interpretation is: People of the Earth.

PEULLA is a beautiful word in their language with a marvellous meaning, not that easy to translate. In English the nearest to PEULLA is...
NEW BUDS, NEW OUTBREAKS or SPROUT.



The figure shows how the Mapuche territory has diminished over time
