Promaucae people
Promaucaes, also spelled as ''Promaucas'' or ''Purumaucas'' (quechua ''purum awqa'': wild people), were an indigenous pre-Columbian Mapuche tribal group that lived in the present territory of Chile, south of the Maipo River basin of Santiago, Chile and the Itata River. Those to the north were called ''Quillotanes''〔Juan Ignacio Molina, Compendio de la historia civil del reyno de Chile, pg. 9. Named for Quillota, one of the settlements of the Inca Empire in Chile.〕 and ''Mapochoes'' by the Spanish colonists). They spoke Mapudungun, like the Moluche to the south, and were part of the Picunche tribe that lived north of the Itata River.
==Description==
The Inca referred to all the peoples who were not under their empire as ''puruma auca''. Because these Picunche tribes were successful in defending their territory against the Inca Empire in the Battle of the Maule, they were given this distinctive name. In an effort to transliterate the word into Spanish phonetics, the Spanish referred to them as the ''Purumaucas'' or ''Promaucaes''. The early Spanish in the area knew their region as the province of Promaucae and its inhabitants were called ''Promaucaes''.
The Promaucae are the first inhabitants of the Rancagua Valley of whom there is a historical account. The Mapuche included them in the group that they knew as the picunche, "people of the north". The Promaucae, as has already been mentioned, constituted a distinct cultural unit separate from those Picunche who lived to the north of the Maipo, named mapochoes, and to the south of the Maule, designated ''maules'' and cauquenes. The Inca invaders noted the great military capacity and will to fight of the Promucae.
They were farmers and constructed some earthworks for irrigation. They left ceramic vestiges. Research has indicated that they initiated the construction of Pucara de La Compañia and a bridge of rope and wicker across the Cachapoal River.
