Resumen:	The “Conquest of the Desert” is the title of the official tale about the formation of the Argentine State Nation, in which the violent invasion of the indigenous territory acquires the narrative place of a heroic and foundational deed. An event built on silences more than images of the past and whose temporality seems to encompass only the minimum time in which certain "battles" took place and “the last Caciques were surrendered". In the memory of the Mapuche people, this event (named "genocide") brings together other social experiences, produces other silences and generates other images of the past. But the political potential of Mapuche narrative plots does not lie solely in the description of the painful and the unspeakable - as were physical tortures, forced confinement, hunger and misery, rape, the deaths of children - but rather in the implicit complaints and in the agency position and presuppositions within the epistemic and ontological frameworks of past. Different temporalities, historical agents and significant events structure the poetic forms with which the memory organizes the sensitive world in which they acquire sense of the Mapuche experiences of the past and the present. The chapter is an analysis of the events on which this book deals from the point of view of a memory that, since that critical event, focused on refunding, restoring and rebuilding the People.
