Michimalonco

16th-century indigenous Chilean chief

Michima Lonco was a Mapuche chief said to be a great warrior, born in the Aconcagua Valley and educated in Cusco by the Inca Empire. He freed the Picunche from Inca rule, ruled as an independent sovereign over the territory of the Aconcagua, Mapocho and Maipo valleys, and who later put up tenacious resistance to the conquest of their territories by the Spanish. He presented himself to the Spaniards, naked and covered by a black pigmentation.
