The islanders were first described in very general - and not always accurate - ethnographic terms by W. J. Durrad at the beginning of the twentieth century (fragments of Durrad's notes were eventually published in the 1940s), and have been the bailiwick of the anthropologist Carlos Mondragón since 1999.
Os insulares foron descritos por primeira vez moi en xeral, e non sempre con exactitude, en términos etnográficos por W. J. Durrad a principios do século XX (fragmentos de notas de Durrad publicáronse finalmente en 1940), sendo terreo do antropólogo 'Carlos Mondragón' desde 1999.
