The Yaghan people are an indigenous group from the southern part of Chile and Argentina, particularly around the Cape Horn region. They are known for their unique language, also called Yaghan, which is part of the Chonan language family. Traditionally, the Yaghan were hunter-gatherers, relying on the rich marine and forest resources of their environment. Historically, the Yaghan lived in small, nomadic groups and developed a deep understanding of their natural surroundings. Their culture includes distinctive practices, such as the use of canoes for fishing and gathering. Today, the Yaghan population has significantly declined, but efforts are being made to preserve their language and cultural heritage.
