Kisah dan tradisi
Legenda Trentren Vilu dan Caicai Vilu adalah mitos banjir Mapuche tentang pertarungan sengit dua ular mitos. Mitos ini menjelaskan bagaimana Kepulauan Chiloé dan pegunungan Chile selatan memperoleh geografinya yang khas. Menurut Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, Caicai hidup di laut dan Trentren berdiam di darat. Menurut Wikipedia, orang Mapuche menyebut kedua ular itu semula anak-anak pillán yang paling berkuasa, yang diubah menjadi wujud hewan sebagai hukuman. Caicai dikirim hidup di laut bersama roh air Ngen-ko, dan Trentren dikirim ke darat. Dalam versi Chile Precolombino, seekor ular raksasa muncul dari laut sambil berteriak "kai, kai, kai"; orang Mapuche lari ke puncak gunung, lalu ular ilahi datang menolong dan pertarungan Kai Kai dan Treng Treng dimulai. Ketika laut terus naik, menurut Wikipedia, Trentren memerintahkan bukit-bukit bertambah tinggi. Menurut Chile Precolombino, Kai Kai yang terkalahkan tenggelam kembali ke dasar laut. Sejak itu, setiap kali bumi berguncang dan laut membanjiri daratan, orang Mapuche mendengar teriakan Kai Kai. Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino menyebut tsunami dan gempa bumi yang sesekali melanda wilayah itu dianggap perwujudan antagonisme kedua ular, dan Wikipedia mencatat tafsir geologis yang mengaitkan mitos ini dengan vulkanisme Zona Vulkanik Selatan.
The legend of Trentren Vilu and Caicai Vilu is a Mapuche flood myth about a fierce battle between two mythical snakes. It explains how the Chiloé archipelago and the mountains of southern Chile came to have their unique geography. According to the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, Caicai lives in the sea and Trentren resides on land. Wikipedia reports a Mapuche account in which the two serpents began as offspring of the mightiest pillans, turned into animals as a punishment. Caicai was assigned to the sea, where he helped look after it alongside the Ngen-ko water spirits, while Trentren was assigned to the earth. In the Chile Precolombino version, an enormous serpent rose from the sea crying "kai, kai, kai"; the Mapuche ran to the mountaintops, then the divine serpent came to help them and the battle between Kai Kai and Treng Treng began. As the sea kept rising, according to Wikipedia, Trentren ordered the hills to grow in height. According to Chile Precolombino, the vanquished Kai Kai sank back into the depths of the sea. Ever since, whenever the earth shakes and the sea floods the land, the Mapuche hear Kai Kai's cry. The Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino says the sea-quakes and earthquakes that periodically strike the territory are held to be manifestations of the two snakes' antagonism, and Wikipedia notes a geological interpretation linking the myth to the volcanism of the Southern Volcanic Zone.
