Abstract This article discusses how various agents influence the configuration of Indigenous emotions and how a healing nostalgia emerges, looking forward to a supposed ‘golden age’ that seeks to heal internal social problems, while at the same time symbolically repairing the ‘immemorial’ Indigenous conflict with the Chilean State and its society. It takes as its starting point the discussion initiated by Laurajane Smith and Gary Campbell concerning nostalgia in the field of heritage, and traces that emotion through ethnographies and collaborative cartographies with Indigenous Mapuches of the Rehue Romopulli, in the Araucanía Region of Chile.
