are these the people of terra del fuego?

The earliest human settlement occurred more than 10,000 years Before Present. The Yaghan people were some of the earliest known humans settling in Tierra del Fuego, with certain recognizable archeological sites at locations such as Navarino Island within the islands of Tierra del Fuego.[1]

The name Tierra del Fuego derives from the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan sailing for the Spanish Crown, who was the first European to visit these lands in 1520. He believed he was seeing the many fires (fuego in Spanish) of the Yaghan, which were visible from the sea and that the "Indians" were waiting in the forests to ambush his armada.[2] Originally called the "Land of Smoke", it was later changed to "Land of Fire".

The very existence of Tierra del Fuego as one or more islands and not as part of Terra Australis was first inferred by Francisco de Hoces in 1525, then by Francis Drake in 1578 and in 1616 by a Dutch VOC expedition who named Cape Horn.

Four native Fuegians, including "Jemmy Button" (Orundellico), were brought from Tierra del Fuego by Robert FitzRoy on his first voyage with the HMS Beagle in 1830. The surviving three were taken to meet the King and Queen in London and were to an extent celebrities. They returned to Tierra del Fuego in the Beagle with FitzRoy and Charles Darwin, who made extensive notes about his visit to the islands.

by appearing in wikipedia yes but from what I saw as the Argentines and Americans entered the population has been devastated and reduced to an amount proportional to a little social bond for lack of sedimentary structure and major lineages have been reduced year by year and lost the source

I believe there is an error of agreement

They Were the Fuegians known by the English speaking world, but the term is nowadays the Avoided Can it refer to any of the Indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego. Some are reputed to still speak the language Yaghan, Which Is Considered to be a language isolate; However, most speak Spanish. The Yaghan Were traditionally nomads, who Traveled Between islands by canoes to collect food. The men hunted sea lions while the women dove to collect shellfish.
