Description
The sixty-six narratives of this volume represent the treasure of folk literature of the Yamana Indians of Tierra del Fuego. The narratives were collected by Father Martin Gusinde in the 1920s and published in his classical study Die Feuerland-Indianer. The Yamana are now extinct. Folk literature of the Yamana Indians preserves the rich oral art, otherwise irrecoverably lost, of one of the most ancient aboriginal peoples of America.
