Epulafkenmapu Collective is the name of a collective in the territory of two lakes, Maihue and Ranco, in the Puelwillimapu territory of southern Chile. The collective conducts a longitudinal study. A collaborative project formed that is simultaneously intercultural, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational. Mapuche Azmapu, self right, guides the project. Western science supports the study, specifically by collaboration from an evolving group of scientists. We focus on community science in a collaborative research with renma, ancestral Mapuche families. We bring together Mapuche and scientific knowledge in a trawunko*.

*Trawunko is the merging of two rivers, where a particular newer, energy, is produced to heal.
