Parliament of Quillín (1641)
The Parliament of Quillín (Killen) was a diplomatic meeting held in 1641 between various
fighting the Catalans in Europe. This way the Mapuche obtained a peace treaty and a recognition on behalf of the crown in a case unique for any indigenous group in the Americas.[1] Another contributing factor for parties to wanting to end warfare may have been the 1640 eruption of Llaima volcano in the middle of the conflict zone.[2] Possibly Mapuches interpreted the eruption as a signal sent from the pillanes.[2]
The parliament served as starting point for the return of many Spanish women held captive by the Mapuche –often in conditions of slavery.[3] However not all Spanish women wanted to go back to life among the Spanish.[3]
