Please teach me about the name Leftraru
Hello! I looked for "names meaning hawk" on the internet, and Lautaro came up. I have never seen this name or heard of the Mapuche until today. Is Leftraru the true name? What is the true meaning of this name, and when is a child named Leftraru? Is this name only for boys, or is it for any child?
I would also like to learn more about the Mapuche, and the history of the region. Do you recommend any books, websites, or other resources in English? (Or in German or Korean languages, though I am best at English.)
