Abstract
This paper gives an overview of Indigenous Peoples in Chile, their self-employment activities and struggle to survive. In the Mapuche economy, the economic unit is not the entrepreneur but the family. While each family works for itself, in the context of a capitalist system, some enterprising tasks are done communally. Meanwhile, self-employed Aymara farmers have developed very sophisticated strategies to protect themselves from unnecessary risk. Across Chile, agricultural self-employment by indigenous people is often supplemented by subsistence fishing and hunting.
