Abstract
The article initially describes the missionary types implemented in Patagonia by the Protestant Church in the late 19th century; therefore it analyzes the verbal-visual construction of the story. S?tambuk draws on elements from other discourses and disciplines to enrich the original testimony. This way, the story goes deeper into the consequences of the evangelization plan for the Yaghan people, who are “instructed” in minor labors against their cultural and identity traces, this indicate the beginning of what the relater calls champurreo. Rosa Yaga?n tells how, since that moment, the Yaghan people disappeared due to contact with the European culture, which additionally meant, particularly for the indigenous woman, almost the entire extinction of her universe of beliefs.
