Mapuche people walk through a ceremonial compound by a cemetery on a cliff to the Pilmaiquen River, where they dip themselves in the water as part of a purification ritual marking the culmination of We Tripantu, the Mapuche new year, in Carimallin, southern Chile, on Sunday, June 26, 2022. In the Mapuche worldview, rivers along with most natural elements are home to spirits they revere. The Pilmaiquen is also believed to help carry the souls of those buried in the cemetery on to their next incarnation. (Photo by Rodrigo Abd/AP Photo)
