Editing Selk'nam Genocide (section)

== Genocide ==
When European settlers began colonizing the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego, the Selk'nam began attacking sheep farms and gold miners. Some of the settlers tried to teach the natives about the concept of private property, but the Selk'nam resumed attacking the settlements, which led to a manhunt to a manhunt on the Selk'nam with the intent to completely eradicate them. The settlers began poisoning their food and brought various body parts as trophies, including their ears, skulls, hands, and genitals after the massacres. One of the perpetrators in the genocide, [[Julius Popper]], also raided their camps and captured their women. In addition, the Argentinian and Chilean governments sent missionaries to assimilate the Selk'nam into western culture and deported them to "[[Human Zoo|human zoos]]" as well as a [[concentration camp]] in Dawson Island. Other Selk'nam also died of foreign diseases introduced by the European settlers as they were forced to convert to Christianity.
