#selknam — Public Fediverse posts

In #Chile, the #history of #Selknam peoples on #TierraDelFuego goes back 10,000 years. Decimated by #genocide in the 19th century, the #Indigenous group is currently #reviving, thanks to the families’ efforts to #reconstruct their personal histories & articulate their communities’ values.

The Selk’nams are also organizing to prevent the commercialization of their image & combat the ignorant view of them as an extinct tribe of Indigenous people with painted bodies.
