Eim, Stefan: The Conceptualisation of Mapuche Religion in Colonial Chile (1545-1787) (PDF), s. 145. Sitat: «On top of those mountains dwells a “snake” [culebra/ Culebra] - also called by the name Tenten - that in reality is the devil. Before the deluge, the snake told the Mapuche ancestors deceitfully that when the sea will rise, they will be safe and protected on the mountain if they would only begin to worship the mountain as a sacred thing. Those Indians, the snake was said to explain, who do not want to do that will be converted into whales, swordfish, groundlings, perches, tuna and other fish, while the obediant Indians will be safe on the mountain as the water cannot reach the top of it.»
