Tierra del Fuego is a group of islands at the southern tip of South America. Half of the main island, Isla
Grande de Tierra del Fuego, belongs to Chile and the other half to Argentina. When the first Europeans
arrived on the islands, there were several groups of people living there. These tribes were hunters. They
didn’t wear clothes before the Europeans arrived even though the climate of the islands is very cold. They
kept warm by covering their bodies in animal fat and by lighting fires. This is how the islands got their
name: Tierra del Fuego means ‘Land of Fire’. The four main tribes of Tierra del Fuego looked similar to the
Europeans, but they spoke different languages. One of these is Kawesqar, and it is now an endangered
language. There are only about ten speakers on Tierra del Fuego and another ten on Wellington Island,
south-west of Chile. However, Kawesqar is in a much healthier position than Yaghan. In 2002, there were
about 1,685 Yaghan people living in Chile, but most of them don’t speak the Yaghan language any more. In
fact, in 2002 there were only two native speakers of this language. One of them died in 2005; this means
that a woman called Cristina Calderón is now the last Yaghan speaker in the world. In 2005 she published a
book of Yaghan stories called Hai Kur Mamashu Shis, which means ‘I want to tell you a story’. The other
two Fuegian languages, Ona and Haush, are related and they are very similar to each other. They are both
part of the Chon group of languages. The last native speaker of Ona died in about 2003, so Ona is now a
dead language. However, you can see examples of Ona words in online dictionaries and there are still a few
people who understand it even though it isn’t their first language. Haush died a long time ago and not much
is known about it now. There is a third member of the Chon language family, Tehuelche, and experts think
there are only four native speakers left. They don’t live on Tierra del Fuego, but in Patagonia in Argentina.
