Guanaco-hunting people of the main island of Tierra del Fuego (Isla Grande), all but destroyed by an 1880s-1900s bounty-hunting genocide; though the last Selk'nam of unmixed ancestry, Ángela Loij, died in 1974, organized descendant communities are now legally recognized as an Indigenous people in both Argentina (1994) and Chile (2023).
Annihilated within a generation by the 1880s-1900s sheep-ranch bounty killings, disease and gold-rush displacement — among history's clearest genocides; a handful of mixed descendants survive in 2026.
The atlas holds 4 border frames for Selk'nam — the shape you scrub through changes in 1500 BC · 1520 · 1880 · 1911.
The definitive first-hand account of the Selk'nam and Yámana (Yahgan) of Tierra del Fuego and their near-extermination.
Survey reference treating the peoples of the Fuegian archipelago (broad reference).
Award-winning Argentine novel built around the real story of Jemmy Button, following a Fuegian's passage among the Yámana/Selk'nam world of the 19th century; a modern literary treatment rather than a work by a Fuegian author, so graded medium.
