I also had never heard of Fuegian dogs until now! How exciting to think humans domesticated a canid completely separate from modern dogs in South America. To nobody's surprise, they were exterminated by European colonists and were all gone by 1919. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuegian...

Same people on the Falklands: No but you don't understand this obscure fish bone from 1013 was chewed by a Fuegian and spat out from where it'd reach these shores, the Argentine nation must own them

The indigenous people of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego actually did domesticate the local culpeo "fox" (which is a 'zorro' species, South American canines that are more closely related to dogs and wolves than to true foxes).

whatever dog he got in him, it is not the fuegian dog
![Wikipedia: The Fuegian dog, or Yahgan dog (Spanish: perro fueguino, perro yagán), is an extinct type of canid. In comparison to the domestic dog's ancient wolf ancestry, the Fuegian dog was bred and domesticated from the South American culpeo, also known as the culpeo fox (Lycalopex culpaeus).11] The culpeo itself is similar (in form and stature) to true foxes (tribe Vulpini), though it is closer, genetically, to wolves, coyotes and jackals (true canids, tribe Canini); thus it is placed in a separate genus within the South American foxes or zorros.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:u2mosg3rpudwmobbyxt46buk/bafkreihbdd44aypvoh4b73uutytyyik7jxvlxrqek2vwgya6ykxjig6mhu)

Okay the thing is that this argument doesn't suggest the FI should be surrendered to Argentina, it suggests it should be given to the Fuegian peoples.

And why wouldn't they? Even the penguins accept British rule and no significant population was overthrown by the Falklanders. If you'd use the Fuegian fishermen well it's obscene to do that given we know who slaughtered them and it wasn't the Brits
