We Tripantu

Wiñoy Tripantu is the Mapuche celebration of the return of the sun[1] and is sometimes called the Mapuche New Year[2]. It takes
place on the June solstice (the Winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere), the shortest day of the year in the indigenous home of the
Mapuche people. Frequently, We Tripantu (Mapudungun tr: new year) is used as a synonym for Wiñoy Tripantu[2][3], but some
speakers of the Mapuche language Mapudungun use We Tripantu to refer to the New Year of the Gregorian calendar (January 1) and
Wiñoy Tripantu for the celebration of the June solstice[1].

Many variations of the term Wiñoy Tripantu exist, such as Wiñol xipantu[1][2], Wvñol xipantu[2], Wiñol Txipantu[1] and Wüñoy
Tripantü[3].

It is the Mapuche equivalent to the Inti Raymi. The Pachamama (Quechua tr: Mother Earth), Nuke Mapu (uke' Mapu) begins to
bloom fertilized by Sol, from the Andean heights to the southern tip. Antü (mapuche), Inti (Aymara), or Rapa (rapanui) Sol, the sun
[4]
starts to come back to earth, after the longest night of the year; it's winter Solstice. Everything starts to bloom again.
