Artista / Artist: Margarita Maldonado
Margarita Maldonado, born on January 16, 1956, in río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina,
is a respected cultural transmitter of Selk’nam
(Ona) heritage. As one of the few remaining
voices preserving the traditions of her
Indigenous community, she shares stories of resilience, language, and ancestral memory
rooted in the harsh Patagonian landscape.
Her work honors the legacy of her parents and grandparents, who lived through profound
cultural shifts, and she continues to advocate for recognition and preservation of Selk’nam identity through public speaking, education, and cultural engagement.
