Identity

To inhabit is to learn to exist in relationship.

Identity is not presented as a fixed possession, but as a living relationship with the territory, the community, memory and ways of understanding the world.

The novel literary approaches the Kawésqar worldview from respect for an existence linked to the sea and the southern channels. This section belongs to the fictional universe of the work and does not replace specialized historical or cultural sources. The Kawésqar, Yagán and Aónikenk are different indigenous peoples of Patagonia, each with their own territories, histories and traditions. The novel literary approaches part of that world; It does not convert the fiction or the author into a linguistic, historical or spiritual authority over those communities. For readers in the English-speaking world, Patagonia lies at the far southern end of the Americas; it is neither an imaginary wilderness nor a culturally empty landscape.

“No one exists separately from the world they learn to inhabit.”
