This article seeks to revisit from a gender perspective the historical and current practice of Mapuche polygamy. The research was framed in my 2018 doctoral dissertation of the same name. From the historiographic review of polygamy, the reconstruction of polygamous life stories, and the analysis of interviews, the position of women within this multiple relationship is put at the center of the discussion, which until now had only been approached from a male and exoticizing perspective that intended to leave the Mapuche polygamy as part of social prehistory and not as a practice that has certainly lost prominence but still persists within the Mapuche nation people. Polygamy as a practice has an enormous autonomous political potential because it shakes from the bases the family structure imposed by the Chilean and Argentinean National State, generating at the same time questionings and reflections from the Mapuche world.
