Composite Cabo de Hornos: Wulaia Yo soy yagán y todos en mi familia son yaganes. Los antiguos se vestían con cueros de animales, andaban en canoa, vivían navegando en los canales y se tiraban al mar a cazar centollas y pescados. Los yaganes se pintaban el cuerpo con tres colores; rojo, negro y blanco. El rojo es el color de la muerte, el negro de la paz y el blanco de la guerra. La ruta patrimonial Wulaia es un recorrido por 7.000 años de la historia de la hermosa bahía de Wulaia, tierra de los antiguos Yámanas, pueblo canoero nómada casi extinto y escenario de encuentros y desencuentros entre yámanas y europeos, desde finales del siglo XIX. Darwin inició aquí su reflexión sobre la evolución de las especies, la cultura Yámana se desarrolló bajo este cielo; el yámana Jimmy Button abordó un barco inglés en esta costa; Fitz Roy navegó estos canales. Caminar por esta ruta es internarse en el mito y la realidad de Tierra del Fuego y su belleza natural, única en el mundo. Cape Horn: Wulaia I am Yagan and everyone in my family are Yaganes. The old dressed in animal leather, traveled in canoe, lived navigating through the channels, and jumped to the sea to hunt spider crabs and fish. Yaganes painted their body with three colors: red, black and white. Red is the color of death, black is the color of peace, and white is the color of war Wulaia Heritage Road is a tour by 7000 years of history of the beautiful Wulaia bay, the land of the old Yámanas, a nomad almost extinct canoeist people, and the scenario of meetings and disputes between Yámanas and Europeans, since late the XIXth century: Darwin started here his reflection on the evolution of the species. The Yámana culture was developed under this sky. The Yámana Jemmy Button went on board of an English ship in this coast. Fitz Roy navigated these channels... Walking by this route means getting impregnated with myth and reality of Tierra del Fuego and its natural beauty that is unique in the world DESCRIPCION GENERAL GENERAL DESCRIPTION DE LA RUTA OF THE ROUTE La Ruta Patrimonial Wulaia, se Wulaia Heritage Road is ubica en el sector noroeste de la Isla located in the north-east sector of de Navarino, a pocos kilómetros al Navarino Island, a few kilometers norte del Cabo de Hornos.

    «Of Sailors and Savages» : Tierra del Fuego and Magellan Strait Contacts with natives reported in English­language newspapers (1851­1900) (relevant text is shown in bold type) PIONEER + SPEEDWELL [1851] Lyttelton Times (NZ), 18 September 1852 A PARTY OF MISSIONARIES STARVED TO DEATH. We have to narrate one of the most appalling stories that has ever appeared in a public journal. An English officer, Captain Gardiner, of the Royal Navy, who was sent out with six companions by the "Patagonian Missionary Society" to the neighbourhood of Cape Horn, has been literally starved to death — he, and his companions with him. The party consisted of Captain Allen Gardiner, R.N., superintendent; Mr. Williams, surgeon and catechist; Mr Maidment, catechist; John Irwin, carpenter; and John Badcock, John Bryant, & Pearce, Cornish fishermen. They left England in September, 1850, in the Ocean Queen; it having been promised that stores should be forwarded to them in June via the Falkland Islands; should they be unable to maintain their position at Picton Island, Beagle Channel, it was supposed that being provided with partially decked launches, they would fall back on Staten Island. The ill­fated party landed on Picton Island towards the conclusion of the year 1850. From the first they seem to have been annoyed in some measure by the natives, and to have been hunted backwards and forwards from the little island to what may be called the mainland of Terra­del­Fuego. About the middle of April, 1851, Captain Gardiner begins to record in his diary, which, has been preserved to us, that they have provisions enough to last for two months, but some are very low.

(Martin Gusinde, last row, fourth position from left to right). Anthropos Institut. Sankt Augustin, Germany - Authorized Digital Copying Martin Gusinde Anthropological Museum Introduction INTROUDUCTION The creation of a museum on Navarino Island was an ambitious project that grew out of a deep interest in and concern for the island’s natural and cultural heritage. The initiative was originally proposed by the Chilean Navy, the same institution that built the Martín Gusinde Anthropological Museum (MAMG), which opened its doors in Puerto Williams in 1975. In the 1960s, before the museum was founded, a collection was begun of archeological material from the island’s coastal areas, along with some objects of historical interest from the first occupation by pioneers. This collection was exhibited in the now defunct Mixed School Nº in Puerto Williams. The collection was moved when the Martin Gusinde Museum was established, becoming part of that institution permanent collection. The Museum was named after the Austrian anthropologist and priest Martin Gusinde S.V.D. (1886-1969), who worked among the Yaghan and Selk’nam people from 1918 to 1924. His body of work offers the greatest collection of ethnographic studies about a world that was already on the verge of disappearing. His seminal work “The Indians of Tierra del Fuego” was published between 190 and 1974, and will forever remain the principal source of information we possess about the native people of Tierra del Fuego.

  • Charles Darwin Ben Jonson Voyage of the Beagle Ii Love Freed from Ignor
    PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN THERE WAS SOME RISK OF CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN’S 1 TURNING OUT AN IDLE MAN “NARRATIVE HISTORY” AMOUNTS TO FABULATION, THE REAL STUFF BEING MERE CHRONOLOGY 1. In the year that the Beagle sailed, Darwin was regarded as a budding geologist. His geology mentor, Woodwardian Professor of Geology at Cambridge Adam Sedgwick, would write while this young protégé was sailing around the world that: [He] is doing admirable work in South America, and has already sent home a collection above all price.... There was some risk of his turning out an idle man, but his character will now be fixed, and if God spares his life he will have a great name among the naturalists of Europe. HDT WHAT? INDEX THE PEOPLE OF WALDEN: CHARLES ROBERT DARWIN PEOPLE MENTIONED IN WALDEN “WALKING”: A tanned skin is something more than respectable, and perhaps olive is a fitter color than white for a man — a denizen of the woods. “The pale white man!” I do not wonder that the African pitied him. Darwin the naturalist says “A white man bathing by the side of a Tahitian was like a plant bleached by the gardener’s art compared with a fine, dark green one growing vigorously in the open fields.” Ben Jonson exclaims,— “How near to good is what is fair!” So I would say— How near to good is what is wild! Life consists with Wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him. One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life.

  • Voyage of the Beagle
    THE VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE PREFACE I have stated in the preface to the first Edition of this work, and in the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, that it was in consequence of a wish expressed by Captain Fitz Roy, of having some scientific person on board, accompanied by an offer from him of giving up part of his own accommodations, that I volunteered my services, which received, through the kindness of the hydrographer, Captain Beaufort, the sanction of the Lords of the Admiralty. As I feel that the opportunities which I enjoyed of studying the Natural History of the different countries we visited, have been wholly due to Captain Fitz Roy, I hope I may here be permitted to repeat my expression of gratitude to him; and to add that, during the five years we were together, I received from him the most cordial friendship and steady assistance. Both to Captain Fitz Roy and to all the Officers of the Beagle [1] I shall ever feel most thankful for the undeviating kindness with which I was treated during our long voyage. This volume contains, in the form of a Journal, a history of our voyage, and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology, which I think will possess some interest for the general reader. I have in this edition largely condensed and corrected some parts, and have added a little to others, in order to render the volume more fitted for popular reading; but I trust that naturalists will remember, that they must refer for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific results of the Expedition.

TIERRA DEL FUEGO. December 17th, 1832.—Having now finished with Patagonia and the Falkland Islands, I will describe our first arrival in Tierra del Fuego. A little after noon we doubled Cape St. Diego, and entered the famous strait of Le Maire. We kept close to the Fuegian shore, but the outline of the rugged, inhospitable Staten-land was visible amidst the clouds. In the afternoon we anchored in the Bay of Good Success. While entering we were saluted in a manner becoming the inhabitants of this savage land. A group of Fuegians partly concealed by the entangled forest, were perched on a wild point overhanging the sea; and as we passed by, they sprang up and waving their tattered cloaks sent forth a loud and sonorous shout. The savages followed the ship, and just before dark we saw their fire, and again heard their wild cry. The harbour consists of a fine piece of water half surround- ed by low rounded mountains of clay-slate, which are covered to the water’s edge by one dense gloomy forest. A single glance at the landscape was sufficient to show me how widely different it was from any thing I had ever beheld.

Nidos de cuatro especiespatag6nicas {Xolmis pyrope, Neoxolmisrubetra, Neoxol- mis rufiventris, y Muscisaxicola capistrata) fueron estudiados durante expediciones a la Patagonia en 1988 y 1992 y nidos de dos especies altoandinas {Myiotheretes rufipennis y Agriornis andicola) fueron observados durante una expedici6n al Perú en 1975. Los nidos de Neoxolmis rubetra y de Agriornis andicola son aparentemente los primeros señalados para estas dos especies, y aquellos de Neoxolmis rufiventris y Myiotheretes rufipennis los segundos para estasespecies. Los nidos de Xolmis pyrope y Muscisaxicola capistrata demuestran la nidificaci6n de la primera especie en matorral patag6nico fuera del bosque de Nothofagus {Fagaceae),y confirman la nidificaci6n de la segunda en el norte de la Patagonia. Estos datos sobre nidificaci6n son ampliados con observaciones de terreno sobre la con- ducta, los bi6topos, la abundancia relativa y la distribuci6n geográfica de estas seis especies. Además, se analiza de manera comparativa aspectos del comportamiento, de la biogeograña y de la evoluci6n presentados por tiráni- dos terrestres en los géneros Myiotheretes, Xolmis, Neoxolmis, Muscisaxicola, y Agriornis. Se discute especialmente patrones de simpatr¡a, alopatr¡a, y parapatr¡a, y de aislamiento reproductivo.

  • A Quantitative Survey of Speciation Phenomena in Patagonian Birds
    ORNITOWGIA NEOTROPICAL 2: 5-28, 1991 @ The Neotropical Ornithological Society A QUANTITATIVE SURVEY OF SPECIATION PHENOMENA IN PATAGONIAN BIRDS FranCfois Vuilleumier Department of Ornithology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street New York, NY 10024, U.S.A. Resumen. Se define Patagonia como América del Sur desde 36 ° S hasta 56 ° S, una región de aproximadamente 1.140.000 kilómetros cuadrados, con una superficie equivalente a la Peninsula Escandinávica en el hemisferio norte o a Colombia en la zona tropical, pero 4,4 veces mas grande que Nueva Zelandia en el hemisferio sur y en latitudes semejantes. Durante el Terciario los cambios de clima y vegetación fueron notables. Durante el Cuaternario un glaciar enorme cubrió una parte extensa de Patagonia y retrocedió según un ciclo que se repitió varias veces. Tomando en cuenta esta historia turbulenta, estudios de algunos géneros de aves patagónicos han correlacionado esquemas de especiación con eventos del Cuaternario. Se estudiaron las 217 especies de aves terrestres y acuáticas de Patagonia pero no las 11 especiesoceánicas para cuantificar patrones de especiación en la avifauna entera. Setenta y tres especies(34 %) presentan evidencia de cuatro fenómenos especiacionales. (1) Se estableció vicarianza local (alo- o parapatria de especieshermanas dentro de Patagonia) en 24 especies(11 %). (2) Se descubrió vicarianza extra- Patagónica (alopatria de especies hermanas, con una o más especies fuera de Patagonia) en 31 especies (14%). (3) Se identificaron superposiciones de distribución debidas a simpatria secundaria en 25 especies(12%). Además, unas 15 especies(7%) representan relictos. Se supone que muchos patrones de especiación son de origen Pleistocé- nico, pero hay otros mucho mas antigüos.
