Soprafino Tarot | 1835

Essentially the Italian Marseille, the Soprafino was one of the 19th century’s most popular tarot decks.

In this faithful reproduction, Osvaldo Menegazzi copied even the smallest stains and imperfections when he hand-painted the cards, to absolutely preserve their authenticity.

A Selk’nam couple with their baby, on a ship en route to be exhibited in Europe as “wildmen”. The Selk’nam people are an indigenous tribe in the Patagonian region of Southern Argentina and Chile. Both appear to have slight damage on their ankles from cruel, probably iron, restraints.

The fear and confusion on their face is haunting. For people who had lived a simple hunting and gathering lifestyle, with little European interaction, the rest of their lives must’ve seemed like a surreal nightmare. 

White History

Abducted by aliens.

Smh

White history

I really want to know who these people are/what happened to them

SO I DID A BIT OF DIGGING AND HOLY SHIT. THE SELK’HAM PEOPLE WERE WIPED OUT IN A MASS GENOCIDE.

LIKE… THEY ARE NO MORE. THE DESCENDENTS OF THIS COUPLE DO NOT EXIST.

AN ENTIRE LANGUAGE. AN ENTIRE CUISINE. AN ENTIRE WAY OF LIFE. WIPED AWAY.

YA’LL WANT SOME FUCKING WHITE HISTORY MONTH? HERE IS SOME GOD DAMN WHITE HISTORY FOR YOU TO PUT NEXT TO ALL THOSE SHINNY IMAGES OF THESE WHITE MEN WHO “DISCOVERED THE WORLD”.

HANG THIS IMAGE IN ALL THE DAMN CLASSROOMS. I’M DONE.

In tierra del fuego theres a museum, they were alive until the early 20th century when they were hunted down, the landlords? ( terratenientes) Hired US hunters with experience in killing natives

and paid them for like ears and boobs i believe? Some were taken to europe to be civilized or gawked at.

Jose menendez and his wife sara braun are recognised as the authors of the genocide. There’s a lot of statues, houses, streets, they built most of punta arenas so their name remains.

However, in october 2019 the main statue in the town square was beheaded, the head left at the foot of the indio patagon with the legebd “ braun menendez asesinos”

Important to remember, the selk'nam werent the only one. Patagonia was full of small tribes, and they were all exterminated. Their culture, language, history, way of life, all gone.

Because european settlers wanted space to raise sheep and get rich.

Something in the wind has changed–it calls you by a different name.

Sunset paints the fur in flames.
