on 27 June 2020 the Chamber of Deputies of Chile adjusted the law, recognizing the Selkʼnam as one of the Indigenous peoples of Chile.
In June 2020 the Chamber of Deputies only advanced/approved the bill; Chile’s legal recognition of the Selkʼnam came in 2023.
Full reasoning
This sentence overstates what happened in 2020. The Chamber of Deputies debated and approved a bill to add the Selkʼnam to the Indigenous Law, but that did not itself complete Chile’s legal recognition of the Selkʼnam as a people recognized by the state.
Official legislative records show the bill was still moving through Congress after 2020, including Senate consideration in November 2020, and that the recognition was ultimately enacted as Law No. 21.606 in 2023. So the 2020 event was an earlier legislative step, not the point at which Chile legally recognized the Selkʼnam.
