As part of a civilizational monologue, throughout its history, Chile has reproduced a formula of particular interest: although composed of several peoples, the nation-state has constituted itself without ever recognizing such actors as parts of its own identity. Between comings and goings, the perpetuation of such institutional posture has contributed to the recent participation of indigenous peoples in the outbreak of a constituent process settled with the purpose of overcoming deep social scars. In this context, this article aims to reflect upon the identity of the constituent actor responsible for drafting a project of Constitution for Chile based on the participation of indigenous peoples in the institution responsible for its writing and the consequences of such participation for a new perception of a Chilean political power accountable for conducting the process – the People(s).
