I don't think the Yaghans could have made it, because travelling such a distance on a simple canoe must have been very dangerous, especially in those days. There has been no evidence to show the Falklands had been forested. Also, if the Yaghans had been to the Falklands, why couldn't they stay there and be the "indigenous people" of the Falklands? -- Warrah Falkland Islands — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottishwildcat12 (talk • contribs) 10:54, 4 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
