Venacio Coñoepán or simply Coñoepán was a Mapuche chief active in the Mapuche resistance to the Occupation of Araucanía (1861-1883). At the founding of Temuco in 1881 in the northern shores of Cautín River Venacio Coñoepán and other chiefs from Choll-Choll met with minister Manuel Recabarren and asked him to not advance further.[1] Later in the same year Venacio Coñoepán headed a parliament that united different Mapuche factions against Chile.[2] Nevertheless, he subsequently fought on the side of the Republic of Chile against Mapuche rebels during the Mapuche uprising of 1881.
