EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890s, transports us back in time to the Patagonian region of South America, where the indigenous people, known as the Tehuelches or Patagones, built their homes amidst the rugged landscape. The image showcases a collection of these native huts, constructed using natural materials such as thatch, animal hides, and wooden poles. The huts are nestled between the rolling hills and vast grasslands, with the clear blue sky serving as a striking backdrop. The Tehuelches were semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, who roamed the Patagonian plains in search of food and resources. Their simple yet effective huts provided shelter from the harsh Patagonian climate, which is characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and extreme temperatures. The circular design of the huts allowed them to withstand the strong winds and provided a communal living space for the extended family. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the indigenous people of Patagonia during the late 19th century, a time when European settlers were beginning to arrive in the region. The image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Tehuelches and the unique way they adapted to the challenging environment of Patagonia. Today, their legacy continues to inspire and fascinate people around the world.
