Jose Keipul, a member of the Mapuche Indian Movement, speaks with members of the media inside Angol jail near Temuco city, some 677 km (420 miles) south of Santiago, November 14, 2009. Members of the Mapuche communities are meeting to discuss Chile's indigenous politics and to claim from the government their ancestral rights to the land. The government in recent years has utilized the anti-terrorism law to control and imprison the Mapuches to control their protests.
