EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by the London Stereoscopic Company circa 1895, showcases a group of Ona Native Americans in Tierra del Fuego. The Ona people, known for their exceptional hunting skills and expertise in archery, are depicted here carrying their bows with pride. The image captures both male and female members of the tribe, highlighting the diversity within their community. Dressed in fur clothing made from guanaco skins, these indigenous individuals relied on this wild camel's flesh as their main source of sustenance. Their resourcefulness extended beyond nourishment; they also utilized guanaco skins to fashion protective shelters against the harsh elements. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these Argentinian natives who once inhabited the interior regions of Tierra del Fuego. It portrays not only a sporting activity but also an essential means for survival - hunting. The bow and arrow held by each member symbolize their connection to nature and exemplify their skillful craftsmanship. London Stereoscopic Company beautifully captured this archival moment that speaks volumes about traditional practices and cultural heritage. As we admire this historical snapshot, it serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven by different ethnicities across South America's vast landscapes
