Today, we helped the young missionaries with a Book of Mormon activity in the plaza of Nueva Imperial. It was a beautiful day in a nice, green plaza. The only challenge was that there was some sort of rap activity in the other corner of the plaza.

In any event, there were four impressive wood carvings in the plaza. Here they are.

I think this one was just labeled a Mapuche man. (Remember, the Mapuches are a native tribe in this area who were the last to be conquered by the Spaniards.)

This one was labeled as a man performing a religious dance in which he is seeking to imitate a bird.

I guess these two beasts are creatures from the Mapuche mythology.

I think this one was simply labeled a Mapuche woman. I didn't try to figure out what she is doing.
