Tribute to the Yagan people

The history, lifestyles and culture of the Yahgan, nomadic Indian people of hunter-gatherers, now extinct, are evoked at the place of their settlement in Cape Horn and Tierra del Fuego.
From 1624, the date of the first meeting of the Dutch with the Yagans, numerous expeditions took place (James Cook, Georges Forester...). In 1830, the English captain Fitz-Roy in turn discovered this people and returned to England with four natives. One of them, nicknamed J. Button, adapted very well to English civilization. Two years later, he was brought home with two other of his companions by Captain Fitz-Roy accompanied among others by Charles Darwin. Different expeditions followed one another until 1855. Some reconnected with J. Button, who over the years reintegrated into his original culture and refused to return to England. From 1860 the first missions were established. Gradually, the population of Yahgan decreased until their decimation due to numerous epidemics.
