| Abstract | This collection about the Tehuelche consists of ten documents; eight in English and two in Spanish. The documents can be broadly categorized into three groups by time period and the information they cover. The first group consists of documents by a colonial administrator and a European explorer of Patagonia, and provide a first-hand account of Tehuelche society and culture, with particular emphasis on hunting methods, diet, warfare, social organization, inter-ethnic relations, religion, important ceremonies and the natural environment, prior to their forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The second group consists of documents by professional anthropologists who sought to recreate a picture of pre-conquest Tehuelche society by building on information by earlier writers. Topics covered by these documents include aspects of culture, territoriality and social structure, folklore, and mythology. The third group consists of just one book, but fills a critical gap by documenting the political and cultural processes that led to the gradual extinction of the Tehuelche beginning from their first contact with Europeans in 1520 to their final forced encampment in reserves in the 1880s. The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and southern Chile. |
