Sažetak
The article discusses various periods of Croatian emigration to Chile, reasons for the emigration as well as the foundation of the most important Croatian ethnic colonies. Further on, the short description of the social contribution of Croatian people and their descendants to the development of Chile is presented. Finally, different types of ethnicity among the Croatian descendents today as well as their interest to bond with the homeland are presented. Despite the fact that only a group of around hundred Chilean Croats speak Croatian language, that there is a large percentage of mixed marriages and that most of Chilean Croats belong to the third, fourth or even fifth generation of immigrants, Croatian identity in Chile is still very well preserved.
