The advantages of utensils made from this material, in terms of resistance and durability, were quickly recognized by these groups who began to use them in multiple ways, among which the crafting of waiki or spears stands out. As studies on mapuche ethnogenesis suggest, war played a fundamental role in the process of sociocultural transformation, allowing the selective incorporation and creative resignification of enemy elements which were considered positive. Taking this into account, we will examine the strategies of iron appropriation and its use in waiki, objects with profound symbolic implications that can be considered both a result and a driving force of the ethnogenetic transformation process.   Desde el inicio de la invasión europea de los territorios de la Araucanía, las fuentes históricas dan cuenta de la avidez de los nativos por apropiarse de objetos de hierro. Las ventajas de los utensilios de este material, en términos de resistencia y durabilidad, fueron rápidamente reconocidas por estos grupos, que comenzaron a darle múltiples usos, entre los que se destaca particularmente la confección de waiki o lanzas. Tal como plantean los estudios sobre la etnogénesis mapuche, la guerra cumplió un rol fundamental en el procesode transformación sociocultural, permitiendo la incorporación selectiva y la resignificación creativa de los elementos del enemigo considerados positivos. Teniendo en cuenta lo expresado, nos proponemos examinar las estrategias de apropiación del hierro y su utilización en las waiki, entendiéndolas como objetos con profundas implicancias simbólicas, que pueden ser considerados como resultado y catalizador del proceso de transformación etnogenética.
