Chungará (Arica) [online]. 2016, vol.48, n.1, pp.91-101.  Epub Feb 09, 2016. ISSN 0717-7356.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-73562016005000004.

In this paper we propose a new interpretation of the so called 'Angata rebellion', an incident which occurred in 1914 and will mark the relationship between the Rapanui people and the 'Tire' world (Chile). The focus of our analysis reveals how critical to this event was 1888's Treaty, which defines the Tire people as 'friends', as well as the visibility of a gastropolitic linked to the premonitory dreams of María Angata, the catechist. These three elements, Treaty, gastropolitics and dreams, are rhizomatically assembled to set the stage for the role this rebellion takes on until this day.

Keywords : Rapa Nui; Easter Island; colonialism; millenarianism; rebellion Angata.
