Manekenk

The Manek'enk, called Haush by the Selk'nam and Eastern Ona by the Yahgan, were the indigenous people of the Mitre Peninsula on Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. Probably the island's first inhabitants, they were killed or absorbed in large part by Selk'nam newcomers, who confined the survivors to the peninsula. Their Chonan language was close to that of the Selk'nam.

They were land hunters who used no watercraft, living in patrilineal bands holding coast and inland hunting ground. Because guanacos were scarce, they drew most of their meat from seals and sea lions and probably traded with the Selk'nam for guanaco skins.

The Garcia de Nodal expedition met them at Good Success Bay in 1619, and later visitors included James Cook in 1769 and the Beagle with Charles Darwin in 1832. Estimates from 1836 put them at only two or three hundred people.
