The poster reads, "We Shall Recover the Land/ The Mapuches of Chile/ After 300 years successful resistance, their territory was occupied by the Spanish in 1884. Under the Allende government [1970-73] they began to regain their land & dignity. Since 1973, the military dictatorship gave the land back to the landlords while jailing, torturing & murdering 1000's of Mapuches." Bottom left text reads, "Write to Gen. Pinochet, Edificio Diego Porales, Santiago, Chile to demand the release of Alejandro Manque & all Mapuche prisoners."
