Product Description

Chile is a country of extremes, where desert, mountains, sea, ice and islands coexist; and this geographic diversity is reflected in a great diversity of native peoples. Through their figures, Artesania Tatitu wants to contribute to the identity and diffusion of Chilean culture, ranging from the north to the south, trying to capture the typical characteristics of each ethnic group or character. Their designs use at least 40% reused materials, rescuing the respect and love of their ancestors for the Earth. This is how TATITU embraces the Diaguita, Aymara, Rapa Nui, Tehuelche, Mapuche and Selknam cultures, as well as characters such as Chilotes and Huasos. Tehuelche was the name given by the Mapuche to the people inhabiting the Pampa on the northern coast of the Strait of Magellan. These groups lived by hunting guanaco and the ostrich-like ñandú and collecting food along the coast. They used bows and arrows as well as bolas for hunting.
