Thousands of years before European settlers arrived, the Yaghan inhabited the tip of South America. While some of their customs have endured, the Yaghan are losing their tribal legends. For many, Calderón represented a cultural resistance.

A Very Unfortunate News

Ms. Christina Calderòn from Patagonia (Chile), the last known Yagana speaker of Yahgan spoken by the native Yahgan Tribe recently passed away due to heart attack. Yahgan is now an extinct language.

However, her 11 yo great grand daughter Tamala recorded many Yahgan vocabularies that Christina taught her which are displayed in 6:47 time mark of this video! I have nothing, but pure respect and gratitude for her! Thank you, Tamala! Preserve the legacy of your Ukara-yakara [ウカラヤカラ]!
