We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend time with the Yaghan descendents on Isla Navarino. For our artist son Raivo, it was especially magical to connect & be with other artists like Julia González Calderon and her brother Jose German González Calderon. We collected junco & bark with Julia and Jose. These materials would later be turned into Yaghan handicrafts like canoes & woven art.
