Haush


The Haush or '''Manek'enk'were an indigenous people, considered the oldest inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego. They inhabited the Mitre Peninsula, the eastern tip of the island, and made regular hunting trips to Isla de los Estados.

The Haush were nomadic hunters, hunting the guanaco. They shared many customs with their neighbors the Ona or Selknam, including the use of small bows and stone-tipped arrows, skin clothing, and an initiation ritual for youth called hain''.
