The Association for Peace and Reconciliation in Araucanía (In Spanish: Asociación para la Paz y la Reconciliación en La Araucanía; APRA for short) is a civic movement in the Araucanía Region that condemns arson attacks associated with the regional conflict and advocates for the defense of farmers and forestry workers affected by attacks directly related to the Mapuche conflict. The organization has been described by media as far-right for its anti-indigenist rhetoric. The organization is also critical of Mapuche community members in the area, whom it has described as "violentists", and according to its vice president, the organization "documents on social media the attacks by Mapuches against the rest of the Araucanians"
