yaghan descendent jose german gonzález calderon

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.
