Abstract
Notwithstanding the recent social and political unrest in Chile, the judicial protection of Indigenous rights has significantly advanced in the last ten years. The current unstable situation may result in either an advancement or a(nother) lost occasion for Indigenous peoples. It especially remains to be seen whether the Constitution will eventually be truly amended, and, if so, whether it will include a due recognition of Indigenous peoples of Chile and their rights. Nevertheless, a retrospective of the evolving jurisprudence of the lower courts regarding Indigenous land and water rights in the last ten years is worth to be presented.
