3. “Palín is a traditional activity in the farming communities of the south. It is an ancient game played by the Mapuche indigenous groups and they passed it on to the current generations of Chileans. The play begins by placing a hard ball made out of wood or leather in a hole in the center of a long rectangular field or court. Players use a curved wooden stick to advance the ball in an effort to score on the opposing team at the other end of the field.”
