thread_title:  :"Today, native Fuegians number in the single digits." 

message: I have a website building up regarding yaghan culture. I've used MediaWiki to let non-techie user to add/review content.
It's temporary URL is http://yaghan.no-ip.org, and it's up only between 9AM and 7PM Chilean Time.
Under the contents section in the navigation bar is the site itself. I haven't even changed the look yet, so any additions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Since this is a non-profit project, I took some content directly from Wikipedia, and put some placeholders for some of the topics that the site must hold.
Any contributions would be greatly appreciated.

thread_title:  Yaghan website 

message: Someone with access to Gusinde or perhaps more recent anthropology - please confirm that there is actually a story regarding walruses in Fuegian mythology.  I am highly dubious, considering fossil records indicate that walruses never lived any further south than Northern California.  Perhaps Gusinde meant a sea lion?

message: The word "Fuego" has a hard G and not the sound like the J of "John". So is it "Fuejans" or "Fueghians"? --Hrotovice (talk) 21:59, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I would incline for the later one, "Fueghians" which resembles more the Spanish pronucniation of the word.Dentren | Talk 02:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: How is it pronounced?

message: It says in the article that Fueguian refers to the Yaghan people, and in Spanish it's a general name for all the tribes in the archipiélalgo, yet it also says it includes the Selk'nam, Kaweskar and Haush. Which are all the other native peoples in the archipiélalgo...so, which one is it? Tomás Vicente (talk) 22:36, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: No one of any real credibility believes that the Yaghan are of Australian or Melanesian origin. I think this section of the page should be removed due to being nothing but fiction. Bobbbcat (talk) 22:48, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: "The principal coordinate plot obtained using the matrix of minimum genetic distances (Fig. 1a) showed that BCS [Baja California series]  was closely linked with Palaeoamericans, whereas the populations from Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego showed an intermediate position between classical Amerindians and/or East Asians and Palaeoamericans"
The claim by Bobbcat that  "no one of any real credibility believes" in this is completely unsubstantiated, and ostensibly wrong. 
Of course, Fuegians aren't "of Australian origin", nobody claims this. The claim is that the Fuegians are one of the populations
with strongest evidence for Paleoamerican descent, where "Paleoamerican" refers to an early wave of migration of an Australoid, not Mongoloid, population.
