The collective term refers to a wide-ranging ethnicity composed of various groups who shared a common social, religious and economic structure, as well as a common linguistic heritage as Mapudungun speakers. Their influence once extended from the Aconcagua River to the Chilo\u00E9 Archipelago and spread later eastward to the Argentine pampa."@en . . . . .
