Reading edition
“Mi nombre es Glaura, en fuerte hora nacida, Hija del buen cacique Quilacura De la sangre de Frisio esclarecida.” Alonso de Ercilla, La Araucana, Canto XXVIII.
Faulkner and others refer to these as the Cessares (Description of Patagonia, p. 113, Hereford, 1774). There was such a tribe, and it was made the subject of a Utopian sketch, An Account of the Cessares, London, 1764.
