The World Issues Forum kicks off this quarter with a talk about cultural ecology, the histories of the indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego, and the intersection of these topics. The speaker, Dr. Alfredo Prieto, is traveling to Western from the Universidad de Magallanes, where he works as a cultural anthropologist and archaeologist.
In this talk, Dr. Prieto will focus on the Selknam and Haush people. Both of these indigenous groups have grown to thrive in difficult environments, both physical and political.
In addition to history and ecology, Dr. Prieto will address current work regarding the cultural memory of the peoples of Tierra del Fuego.
