Abstract

Kawesqar travel narratives which were recently obtained in field work are a unique ethnographic documentary source that allows us to get acquainted with scarcely known aspects of this culture, as well as they increase and correct the interpretations in the existing ethnographic literature (The corpus allows for the expansion and revision of interpretations in the already existing ethnographic literature) . This article examines, in general, the value of travel narratives for a researcher, and in particular what they contribute (in particular their contribution) to the study of kawesqar culture.
