 During their first encounter in the year 1999 Cristina Calderón asked her granddaughter to write down her story. In 2017 we were finally able to finish the book and present it at different locations.

The NGO "Terralingua, Unity in Biocultural Diversity" published in its “Langscape Magazine” an article by Cristina with a summary of the biography of Cristina Calderón.

In the last few years we have held workshops in the Yagan language for children and adults of the Yagan community.

Research

Our interest in discovering our family history and understanding the Yagan world has led us to contacts with various archives, especially the Anthropos Institut, where we have been gathering information from old records.

The linguist Yoram Meroz has been working in the Yagan language since 2007.

"Livre - Revista de libros" published an article about “the Yagan author”.

The artist Anna Kölle from Germany gave a linocut workshop for children of the Yagan community in Ukika, Tierra del Fuego. The prints of the linocuts made by the children illustrate the book "Yágankuta, Pequeño Diccionario Yagan"

Meeting with the anthropologist Anne Chapman

In March 2009 the anthropologist Anne Chapman traveled to Tierra del Fuego for the last time.

Article in the German daily newspaper "Heidenheimer Zeitung"

On the occasion of our launch of the German version of "Hai kur mamašu čis", the "Heidenheimer Zeitung" published an article in December, 2007.

For more than two years the bookbinding of “Hai kur mamašu Čis” was a center of our family life. 

For this book we made numerous field trips to identify and gather the medicinal plants and then to learn how to prepare and apply them.
