Cuncos, Juncos[A] or Cunches[B] is a poorly known subgroup of Huilliche people native to coastal areas of southern Chile and the nearby inland.[C] Mostly a historic term, Cuncos are chiefly known for their long-running conflict with the Spanish during the colonial era of Chilean history.
Cuncos cultivated maize, potatoes and quinoa and raised chilihueques.[3][4] Their economy was complemented by travels during spring and summer to the coast where they gathered shellfish and hunted sea lions. They were said to live in large rukas.[3]
Cuncos were organized in small local chiefdoms forming a complex system intermarried families or clans with local allegiance.[5]
