T265: Indians on the Straights of Magellan Near Punta Arenas, Chile.

Printed 'information' appears on the back of the mount, concerning Tierra del Fuego and its indigenous population. Here you see a crowd of these Indians not far from Punta Arenas. They are an ungainly, uninformed lot. This particular group is better dressed than many one may see in this section of the country. It is said that some of the tribes on the west side of the island go without any clothing whatever, even in that cold climate. They are a shiftless, warlike lot of savages.
