Colonialism, Anthropology and indigenous reemergences in Tierra del Fuego
Abstract
This paper discusses the reemergence of selk’nam people in Tierra del Fuego (Argentina), a territory that since the beginning of colonization carried out by the Argentine and Chilean states, has imagined itself as white and European, as one without indigenous inhabitants. The reemergence of Selk’nam and Yagan people, their ontological presence and the advancement of their political agendas in the last thirty years stress the founding narratives of the provincial territory and question the place of Anthropology in the rhetorical extinction of indigenous people.
