RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Serpientes, espíritus y hombres: el relato mapuche de Treng-Treng y Kay- Kay A1 Tilley Bilbao, Charles David A2 Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid K1 Investigación AB In this paper we intend to address the foundational story of Treng-Treng and Kay- Kay, for which the Mapuche people have traditionally provided an explanation of its origins, the origin of some cosmological elements and the configuration of its territory. Our goal is to bring the reader to this interesting story and show how it has been influenced by Christianity, becoming for the Mapuche people, even today of unquestionable importance. This story narrates the battle fought by two giant serpents called Treng-Treng and Kay-Kay, which embody the stems of two powerful “spirits” facing each other. Through the development of the battle, the reality of the territory gradually takes shape (both physical and intangible) as well as part of the sociocultural system of the Mapuche people.
