[edit] Death

I got the information about this guy being staked by colonizing spaniards while his wife had to watch, from the wikipedia article on ppl being staked to death. Excuse the ad hominem, but I hope that lifeless 15yrold vigilantes such as "RazorICE" are not the backbone of wikipedia editing.

[edit] Biographical sources

I think that everyone should be careful to take with a grain of salt all biographical information about Caupolican. To be precise, the only semi-contemporary source from where the information is extracted is the epic poem "La Araucana" by Alonso de Ercilla, written about 20 years after the events, and based on part on personal interviews with participants still alive. But it was a poem, not a history... Mel Romero 12:45, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
