Parliament of Boroa
In
Governor of Chile, Antonio Acuña Cabrera, who travelled to Boroa incognito from the fortress of Nacimiento in the north accompanied only by six men.[1] This riskful crossing of Mapuche territory was considered a valiant but reckless stunt by Spanish subordinates.[1]
The terms of the treaty were detrimental to the Mapuche; almost everything agreed then was in favour of the Spanish, including a prohibition for the Mapuche to wear weapons unless the Spanish asked them to do so.[2] Mapuches were also to help the Spanish build forts and allow them free passage through their lands.[1] In hindsight, the parliament is considered a failure given the massive Mapuche uprising that broke out four years later in 1655.[2]
