How did Santiago get its name?
Santiago, the capital of Chile, was founded in 1541 by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Valdivia and named after Saint James (Santiago in Spanish), the patron saint of Spain.

What are the different types of races in Chile south America?
Most of the Chileans are Indians. Then, there are some that are mixed race (Indian and White Spanish) and a few who are White, typically the society's elite. Official figures will say that most Chileans are mixed race, but you should not believe it because "Mestizo" is called to anyone who follows a western lifestyle and is not White, even if they are 100% Indian. Aside from that, many Latin Americans are ashamed of having Indian ancestors and refuse to acknowledge them. "Indio" is only called to those who still live in tribes and stuff like that.
