Tapejara (it means "lord of the ways", "senhor dos caminhos" in tupí-guaraní) is such an excellent name for a pterosaur, just another banger from Brazil, here in Argentina we just name our critters big dick names like ARGENTINOSAURUS and GIGANOTOSAURUS

Queer Polyglot/Language Learning Community

Do you speak or have resources in any of these languages? I'm building an online dictionary of queer-related words (anything regarding sexuality, romantic orientation, gender expression, intersex traits, etc).

The languages I still haven't manage to get much from are (in no particular order):

Hmong

Yagan

Aonikenk

Manchu

Jeju

Okinawan

Ainu

Kakán

Ossetian

Even if you don't speak any of these, but you speak a language few people know, I'd love for you to reach out.

Random Real Thoroughbred: INDIO TEHUELCHE

Koleken inakayali Pol et al., 2024 (new genus and species)

(Maxillae [bones in the upper jaw] of Koleken inakayali [scale bar = 5 cm], from Pol et al., 2024)

Meaning of name: Koleken = from clay and water [in Teushen, referring to the fact that the original fossil was found in claystone]; inakayali = for Inakayal [one of the last chiefs of Tehuelches]

Age: Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian)

Where found: La Colonia Formation, Chubut, Argentina

How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual including parts of the skull, spine, and hindlimbs.

Notes: Koleken was an abelisaurid ceratosaur, making it a close relative of genera like Carnotaurus and Aucasaurus. In fact, it is known from the same rock formation as Carnotaurus, so the two may have lived alongside one another. Like other abelisaurids, Koleken had rough patches on the top and sides of its skull that may have corresponded to a keratin covering in life, though unlike Carnotaurus, it did not have prominent horns on the top of its head.

Based on microscopic examination of its bone structure, the type specimen of Koleken was not fully grown when it died, which raises the possibility that it represents a juvenile individual of Carnotaurus. However, the describers of Koleken consider the two more likely to be distinct species, because they differ in details of the skull, vertebrae, and hindlimbs that are unlikely to have changed so dramatically during growth.

Chilean paleontologists have released their findings on a new duck-billed dinosaur named Gonkoken nanoi, which inhabited Chilean Patagonia in the late Cretaceous, in the late age of the Dinosaur, approximately 70 mya.

The name Gonkoken nanoi means similar to koken or swan in Tehuelche language,  the indigenous people that inhabited the region where this species was found, and nanoi in honort to Mario “Nano” Ulloa, who helped during expeditions. It is estimated that it could have measured between 3.5 and 4 meters in length and weighed between 600 kilograms and one ton.

Chilean Patagonia could have been a refuge for these primitive forms of hadrosaurs, which would have migrated to the Southern Hemisphere long before more advanced forms, and it is believed these hadrosaur may have even reached Antarctica, when it was connected to South America.

so argentines are racist

their parents and grandparents are racist

there is no fucking way you think calling someone "negro" is racist

and there is no fucking way you actually think all argentinians are white and that all of them are "racist"

argentina is way more than just buenos aires. we are FILLED with native cultures such as guaraníes, quechuas, mapuches, tehuelches, omaguacas, aymaras... and that's just naming some.

This is Argentinian culture too.

Oókempam: criatura de origen Tehuelche, avistada en la Patagonia. Se lo describe como un humanoide gigante de cuatro patas y con un caparazón, que lo ayudaba a protegerse de ataques de los locales del área y de otros animales. El único lugar de su cuerpo sin protección son sus talones, su punto débil. Su nombre significa "el que carga", y según las leyendas, este nombre se debe a que tiene la costumbre de tomar niños que se alejan del resto y cargarlos en su caparazón hasta su cueva. Es inteligente, y hasta tiene la capacidad de hablar.

Los Ngen: son espíritus de la mitología mapuche que mantienen el equilibrio entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza. Son seres animados y activos, cuyo objetivo es proteger la naturaleza. Hay distintos tipos, y pueden aparecerse como humanos o animales.

The Selk'nam (I): Quick historical recap

One of who knows many posts I'll write about the Selk'nam (AKA Ona) culture. In this post I will mostly talk about historical context. So whenever I get into mythology, religion, folklore, etc, you can come back here and read this if you want to know the specifics.

Located in the south of Chile and close to Argentina, the Selk'nam were a group of somewhat recent tribes. They diverged from the Tehuelche people in the 1300s, only a century and half before the Spanish crown arrived and claimed most of the American continent!

They displaced quickly the closely related Haush, and both cultures dsitributed the land between themselves.

(Curious fact: They used Yagan dogs for hunting, that they domesticated from a different canid than wolves unlike most of the modern dog breeds [the south american fox, that despite it's name, is not an actual fox, but resembles one in it's build]. The same evolution path, from a different starting point!)

At first, they were somewhat lucky. The spanish crown took as it's property all of South America. But actually, it never went that far into the south. The Onas were not discovered until 1520, while Magallanes was trying to travel the whole world for the first time in history. Even then, they were not contacted until 1580, and for a couple centuries, they were mostly left on their own. So you can have a vague idea of how feeble was the influence on them until the latest centuries.

To the left, an image of Spain (orange) claims on SA, to the right, the tribes present. While the crown had Selk'nam territory as claimed, those lands were very disjointed and there was barely a couple settlements.

The Selk'nam were very stable population wise. By the time they were counted by censuses in the late 1800s, their numbers were somewhere between 4000 to 5000. Like other civilizations, they sometimes engaged into conflicts with their neighbours, and sometimes kept peaceful relations (the noble savage myth is a racist and condescending idea, they were human with all the shades and lights). In other words, their population was in a very delicate balance, able to get through with no external pressures.

Until that changed.

1860. The Gold fever arrived to all the americas. Scavengers frantically looked for gold in water sources to make quick money. Not only the gold, but all the economy moved by it made countless businesses flourish, and lots of people interested in claiming lands for exploitation.

The Selknam happened to be located in the Land of Fire (Tierra de Fuego), a very exploitable place for rich outsiders. Multiple farmers arrived to Chile and wanted to extend their crops and livestock there. Onas were in the way, and the now independent Chilean goverment was either powerless, or did not even care, to stop them from attacking their own people.

(PLEASE STOP READING IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE WITH THEMES OF GENOCIDE AND CULTURAL DESTRUCTION, SKIP TO ''BUT NOT ALL HOPE IS LOST'')

For the next 40 years, the Selknam were not merely killed. As if they were prized animals, they were hunted down. Their fragile balance was not prepared to cope with an external force that put literal bounties on their heads for the crime of existing, and happening to be there.

I'd put photographies some of the settlers took, posing with their corpses, plundering their tents, shooting at innocents fleeing, because trust me, they took many, and nowadays they're still out there. A quick google search shows them. But that's gratuite, gruesome and plainly unnecesary. I think my point is driven home.

Julio Popper, one of the instigators, and even direct participant in the killings.

The numbers dropped massively. The Selknams were soon forced to abandon their lifestyle, and by 1900, their numbers were in the low 100s. As they were pushed away from their land and driven into a corner, Selknam groups resorted to infighting to get a hold to the last of the land and resources.

Some Christian missions took pity on them and helped them relocate, but whilst doing that, they lost what little they had left of their culture and ways of living. On top of that, the poor living conditions, and many contagious diseases they had no response for (same situation that killed millions in central america back when the spanish set foot for the first time).

Close to 1910 the massacre finally stopped, but it was too late. Their numbers sunk further. By 1950, only a dozen or so remained. In 1966, Lola Kiepja, last of the Selknam who fully knew the culture and customs, passed away.

But not all hope is lost!

The Ona tribes may be extinct functionally, but their legacy has not dissapeared. In fact, there's chance of a comeback!

Some mestizos (mixed descendants, with Selknam ancestry) have reappeared after the 1980s, now that the stigma started to wane. A 2010 census in Argentina found over 2000 proclaimed Selknams, and another in Chile, over 1000.

Not only that, one of those mestizos, Joubert Yanten Gomez, managed to reconstruct the Selknam language (passed down by the last survivors), and self taught it to himself! A crude version of the original, maybe, since there's no native to compare it, but still saved from total extinction!

There's recordings, photographies, and accurate protrayals of their rituals and dances. The states started to support their people, and effords of revitalization started in the late XX century. Every day, more is known and shared about the Ona people.

The story of the Selk'nam is not one of defeat, but of superation. Even if their people was exterminated, enough managed to survive and pass the torch, defying all odds.

No matter how oppresed is a culture, if the will of it's population prevails, they will keep living on.

I can't wait to actually get into what they achieved, what they believed, and how they viewed the world around them.

Imagínate si los yanquis se enteran que el primer presidente de Argentina fue afro

Así es:

Si nos guiamos por caracteres étnicos, también Perón tenía ascendencia tehuelche. Él lo referenció varias veces.

[transgenderer]

so, the african hunter gatherers ive read about (!kung and mbuti) both frequently rebuild their houses, while the mongolian pastoralists and american plains hunter-gathers (actually i think the situations on the plains is weird? they definitely did some agriculture in the past. i think by the time there were people writing down the plains lifeways they had already adjusted to the horse so who knows what their deal was) both used mobile housing (the yurt and the tipi). its weird to me that mobile housing isnt more common. maybe it requires horses? im not sure if the tipi predates the horse? hmm, quick google

The precise origins of the Plains tipi are uncertain. However, telltale rings of stones used to hold down the edges of skin tent covers mark the sites of ancient tipi camps dating back at least 5,000 years on the Prairies, and earlier still in regions to the north

! so its not a horse thing. maybe the travois made it viable before horses

Tents were used at least as far back as the early Iron Age.[3] They are mentioned in the Bible; for example, in Genesis 4:20 Jabal is described as "the first to live in tents and raise sheep and goats".

ancient mobile tent pastoralists of the near east...

oh! buryuut hajar of the bedouins. also had pack animals

surely there are traditional african tents but i cant find anything about them

the tehuelche of patagonia used tents! wonder how they moved them....

La bandera de batalla. / Bandera custom antigua.

Obsesionada con ambas, la primera bandera fue literalmente la que representa los principios de lo que ahora es chile, (bandera Araucana con la estrella de venus/guñelve en medio) y la otra que duro menos que lo que dure yo un año de U. Pero está preciosísima.

A todo esto ya quiero dibujar a mapuche wn, pa que vean como le daba charchazos al chilito cuando se portaba mal siendo chikitito. Sin webear, la madre fue quien le enseño a ser tan detonao (saber pelear, cuando y como, la agresividad y carácter).

El pueblo araucano o mapuches no eran un imperio, eran tribus, huilliches, pehuenches, Tehuelches. Sin embargo le hacían la pelea a cualquier weon que faltará el respeto a la 🌎, sobre todo sus territorios, habían pacíficos y otros que no, los mapuches se la pasaban en tensión contra los incas y literalmente los weones se pasaban a cualquiera que quisiese, aunque no fuesen una cultura tan marcante.

Los mapuches se hicieron pico a los españoles en la colonización, el personaje que más recuerdo que los enfrentó hasta la muerte es "Galvarino" el weon que le cortaron las manos y se amarro cuchillas de piedra para reemplazarlas y descuartizar más de un español xddddddd por algo todavía sigue vigente arta población mapuche en chile a pesar de no haber sido imperio xD

ABOUT

Tehuelche’s nest is only 200 feet from the ocean, so he does not need to walk a long distance to bring food back from the ocean to feed his chicks. His nest is also located in the area where the first nests of this colony were settled around 2008/2009. Originally, reckless people caused severe human disturbance and impacted this colony. The Global Penguin Society stepped in, and after a decade of protection this colony grew from 6 nests to 3,600 nests! Tehuelche is the name of the main aboriginal tribe that lived in this region in Patagonia until last century.

Camino al Cerro Villegas I

El sol que sale por el este, los parajes deserticos y tallados por la brisa filosa de la estepa, un aguilucho que pasa planeando, a lo lejos. Los restos de lo que alguna vez fue una cerca para el ganado y un corral para doma de caballos. 

La estepa representa lo que alguna vez fue y perduró en el paso del tiempo. El camino al Cerro Villegas, atravesado por el serpentiante rio Limay, caracterizado por sus fuertes corrientes y su color turquesa, es un vívido cuadro de un paraje inhóspito pero a la vez marcado por la historia. 

Lugar de batallas, pactos fallidos, traiciones, esperanzas y deseos de recobrar lo que alguna vez, fue la tierra propia. Si se indaga un poco en los registros historicos, podemos adentrarnos en las narraciones de los tehuelches y de los generales que, en nombre de la “patria” dieron comienzo y final a la cruenta y llamada Campaña del desierto. 

La Patagonia cuenta muchas historias y esta es una de ellas, la historia de cómo un miercoles 3 de mayo, sin saberlo, iba subir a mi primer cumbre en el Cerro Villegas, para luego vivackear en una de sus antiguas y oscuras cuevas.
