"When the Moai Walked" Legend of the Rapanui People.

The collection “Legends of Chile for the World” gathers traditional tales of the native people of Chile, a country located on the western side of South America. This collection presents different indigenous stories with first class artists’ illustrations.
When the Moai Walked is a Rapanui people’s legend that presents a fabulous explanation about how the Moai —monumental statues, typical from Rapa Nui (also known as Easter Island or Isla de Pascua)— were constructed and moved, as well as how the knowledge of their construction was lost and how some of these giant sculptures collapsed.
The illustrations were made by Daniela Montané Trincado, who earned a degree in Digital Illustration, from the DuocUC. This artist, who has also specialized in portrait paintings and landscaping, combines her talent with her labors of rescuing cultural heritage. In 2006, she donated the portraits of the first Chilean female aviators to the National Aeronautics and Space Museum.

“Legends of Chile for the World”

LEGEND OF THE MAPUCHE PEOPLE
The collection “Legends of Chile for the World” gathers traditional tales of the native people of the Chilean territory, a country located on the western side of South America. This collection presents different indigenous stories with first class artists’ illustrations.
The Lanterns of Pillán is a legend of the Mapuche people (People of the Earth) that gives a magic explanation, on the one hand, about the volcanic activity of the land, and on the other hand, about the origin of the beautiful native flower called Copihue.
The illustrations were done by Rodrigo Salinas, who earned a degree in Art, specializing in engraving, from the University of Chile. He has worked as illustrator for very well known newspapers (La Nación and El Mercurio of Santiago). He also is the editor and founder of the group “La Nueva Gráfica Chilena”, and one of the creators of the successful children TV program “31 minutos”. He has twice been awarded the Altazor —a prestigious prize in Chile concerning to arts and media.

" The lanterns of Pillán"

Hermana niña, de noches de invierno.

Imaginación galopante

compañera de juegos.

Noches a hurtadillas,

ocultas bajo los lienzos,

la risa sonora, inocente y dable

¡A callar, niñitas!

Ordenaba la madre

y nuestras risitas

no paraban de mostrarse.

Buenos tiempos de niñas.

Mi buena compañera,

cómplice de risas que desvelan.

Infantes recuerdo

De mi hermana-niña

Imaginación galopante

Tiempo fulminante

Compañera de juegos.
