History

The foundation was born to give continuity to the work done with the KimunDigital student project funded by the Ministry of Education through the University of La Frontera, with which various Epew (ancestral stories) were collected, thanks to the research carried out by the team in communities of the Araucanía region

The team selected an Epew shared by the living human treasure, ñaña Paula Painén, which was worked to create a digital book aimed at children, written and recorded in three languages (mapuzungun, Spanish and English) with illustrations alluding to the Epew which can be colored. This book is freely available on our website, appstore and physical book soon available in some libraries.

Currently the foundation is working on the Fondart project "Epew - Rescste y valor en valor                  of ancestral knowledge "which consists of the creation of another 6 digital books with ancestral content which will also be available on our website for free, as well as visits to schools with epewtufes.
