Selkam
1000-1300AD
Argentina
Living between 1000-1300 AD in southernmost Argentina, the Selknam, or ‘Onas’, thrived in Tierra del Fuego. As nomadic hunter-gatherers, they endured extreme cold, subsisting mainly on guanaco hunting and practicing rituals like the Hain. Picture an ancestor as a Selknam, hunting across vast steppes, body-painting for ceremonies, and storytelling under the southern sky.
