	Dragonlance Nexus: Chonos - Lexicon
		Chonos was a member of a doomed scout party that had been sent out to investigate the strange quiet that had fallen over the Ogre lands ruled by Grand Lord Golgren.
		Chonos and his blood brother Ulthar were the only legionary's that managed to escape but not before Ulthar was mortally wounded.
		On his deathbed, Ulthar made Chonos swear a vow to return his axe to his son Kylus as it was a family heirloom.

	The Voyage of Beagle - XIII. Chiloe And Chonos Islands
		It is remarkable that the same plant should be found on the sterile mountains of central Chile, where a drop of rain does not fall for more than six months, and within the damp forests of these southern islands.
		The zoology of these broken islets of the Chonos Archipelago is, as might have been expected, very poor.
		In all parts of Chiloe and Chonos, two very strange birds occur, which are allied to, and replace, the Turco and Tapacolo of central Chile.

	Chiloé - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pacific ocean lies to the west, and the Chonos Archipelago lies to the south, across the Gulf of Corcovado.
		The capital is Castro, on the east side of the island; the largest town (although not by much) is Ancud, at the island's northwest corner, and there are several smaller port towns on the east side of the island, such as Quellón, Dalcahue, and Chonchi.
		Chiloé and the Chonos Archipelago are a southern extension of the Chilean coastal range, which runs north and south, parallel to the Pacific coast and the Andes Mountains.

	Los Chonos
		En términos generales, los Chonos han sido caracterizados como un pueblo nómade, dedicado fundamentalmente a la pesca, a la caza de lobos marinos y algunos cetáceos menores, y a la recolección de mariscos.
		Los Chonos andaban casi desnudos y sus únicos vestidos eran una capa de cuero de guanaco que les tapaba sólo los hombros y parte de la espalda, complementada con un taparrabo de algas secas.
		En 1710, un grupo de 200 Chono se fue a vivir, cerca de los españoles, primero en la Isla Huar y más tarde en la de Chaulinec, desde donde desaparecen del registro histórico, probablemente al mezclarse con los Huilliches (Veliches) de Chiloé.

		Here, within the Chonos Archipelago, the nature of the climate more closely approaches that of Tierra del Fuego than that of northern Chiloe; for every patch of level ground is covered by two species of plants (Astelia pumila and Donatia magellanica), which by their joint decay compose a thick bed of elastic peat.
		In all parts of Chiloe and Chonos, two very strange birds occur, which are allied to, and replace, the Turco and Tapacolo of central Chile.
		I may mention, as a proof of how great a difference there is between the seasons of the wooded and the open parts of this coast, that on September 20th, in lat.

	CHAPTER XIII. — CHILOE AND CHONOS ISLANDS \| NZETC
		November 10, The Beagle sailed from Valparaiso to the south, for the purpose of surveying the southern part of Chile, the island of Chiloe, and the broken land called the Chonos Archipelago, as far south as the Peninsula of Tres Montes.
		In the central parts of the Chonos Archipelago (latitude 45 degrees), the forest has very much the same character with that along the whole west coast, for 600 miles southward to Cape Horn.

		Canoeists from the Magellan Strait and from the intricate labyrinth of the northern islands and of the infinite southern canals were neighbours (of) the Chonos (north) and (of) the Yamanas from the south.
		There is no doubt that in this sense the Chonos (from the Las Guaitecas archipelago) were the most developed and it is highly probable that they thought their neighbours building techniques.
		On the other hand, nature provided each group with different materials: a great variety of trees of smaller sizes to the south so that natives had to adapt the building of their vessels to the materials available.

	Sea Kayak - Los Chonos
		Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, los españoles tomaron contacto con los Chonos, primero esporádicamente y a través de los viajes de exploración (1553-1558), y luego en forma más continua, a partir de la fundación de la ciudad de Castro, en febrero de 1567.
		Los Chonos se dedicaban fundamentalmente a la pesca, la caza de lobos marinos (de cuyo aceite elaboraban una bebida), la recolección de algas marinas (usadas como vestido), y fundamentalmente, a la recolección de mariscos.
		Los Chonos desaparecen en las descripciones de cronistas y viajeros a mediados del siglo XIX, aunque ya en 1674 el marino Antonio de Vea registra su alejamiento de las rutas transitadas por los españoles en los archipiélagos meridionales.

		In the south of the main island of Chiloé, after the Corcovado Gulf, are located a huge number of islands that form several archipelagos.
		The Guaitecas and Chonos archipelagos, are the northern part of this insular region of Chile and the limit in the south is the Penas Gulf.
		There is little information available about the Chonos population, just a few tails or other documents contain some information about there living, about their particular boats or their language.

	chonos
		Se puede afirmar entonces que los chonos se alimentaban principalmente de pescados y mariscos, acompañado esto con carnes de aves acuáticas, focas y nutrias.
		Estas dalcas, embarcación tipo de los aborígenes chonos, fue sin duda un notable producto cultural de los habitantes prehispánicos de los archipiélagos e islas de Chiloé.
		Sobre los chonos se puede señalar como una conclusión tentatoria, que pertenecieron a lo que podríamos definir como un grupo tardío y único, que probablemente surgió del mestizaje entre antiguas poblaciones canoeras, con poblaciones aborígenes que arribaron desde más al norte.

		Shellmiddens are found scattered throughout the region, particularly in the Chonos Archipelago, where shellfish resources would have been an important part of the amerindian diet.
		Some of the first descriptions of the environment of the Taitao - Chonos region are provided by Charles Darwin in his account of the Voyage of the Beagle when he passed through in November of 1833.
		In general the climate is strongly oceanic, with annual precipitation in the region of 3000 mm and mean annual temperatures around 8-10 deg C. In the nearby Andes, rising to 4300 m altitude, precipitation is much higher with estimates for annual rainfall as much as 10 000 mm.

	chonos
		Los indios chonos estando en Calbuco se dirigieron donde el gobernador de chiloé en el castillo de chacao, siendo agasajados por la autoridad encabezada por Lorenzo Cárcamo quien los alentó a vivir en la isla Huar.
		Para este tiempo, nos dice Urbina, ya hay más de 100 chonos bautizados y muchos casados por la iglesia y a pesar de su barbarie y nomadismo "ya les va sabiendo mejor las papas, harina y legumbres de Chiloé, por cuya razón van haciendo sus sementeras con las esperanzas de gozarlas" (10).
		Solamente quedó prendida en algunas denominaciones de lugares, que hoy recuerdan que un día llegaron a estas tierras los "neófitos" chonos en busca de una mejor vida y ello tuvo su precio.

		Chiloé Island marks the gateway to an inside passage bounded to the west by a maze of glaciated islands, to the east by a labyrinth of fjords.
		This maze, beginning with the Chonos Archipelago, leads to Torres del Paine National Park—in the opinion of many, the most beautiful national park on earth.
		At the northern end of the Chonos, the fl-browed albatross was the most common seabird, skimming by us on its eight-foot wing-span.

		El hecho de hallarla al sur del Golfo de Peñas muestra la migración emprendida por los "Chonos" abandonando su territorio y la incorporación tardía que hacen los "Halakwulup" de una embarcación más sofisticada.
		Los españoles entraron en contacto con los Chonos, primero esporádicamente a través de los viajes de exploración (1553) y, a partir de la fundación de Castro en la Isla de Chiloé (1567), fue en una forma casi continua al habitar la región navegada por los españoles.
		Así es que su desaparición es un poco por el contacto directo con ellos, es decir enfermedades y peleas, y otro poco porque se desplazaron en búsqueda de otros territorios.

		In Chiloé Island, to the north of the Chonos territory, we find an insular culture with some centuries of development originated from ethnic groups such as the Huilliches, Chonos and Cunco.
		The Spanish arrived in the 16th century and from that contact a new culture was born.
		Although they were not exactly like the Chonos, they quickly started to differentiate from the rest of the natives of the area after the arrival of the Spanish when a quite particular culture, which was called “the culture of wood”, was born.

		You can also find a very interesting discussion about the Bibles that were given to the families of the victims, and the fact that the plaque apparently contains some inaccuracies over in the Shipwreck Central discussion forums.
		The Chonos is back in Punta Arenas and Christine has been able to spend time with the Sea Hunters as Mike and Warren made some night dives on the wreck.
		Francisco, one of Chile's most notable commercial divers and the owner of the Chonos was thrilled with Warren's discovery.

		With the help of CONAF, the National Parks authority in Chile, and venturers from Raleigh International, we have been engaged in a research program investigating the environmental changes brought about by the action of climate and of humans over thousands of years in southern Chile.
		Occupation of the channel islands by amerindians (Chonos, and Kawesqar), whose subsistence was based primarily on fishing and other coastal resource exploitation, appears to have occurred no earlier than about 5000 yr BP.
		Amerindian impact on this environment was probably limited to the coastal margins, with occasional excursions to the interior of the islands of the Taitao-Chonos region, to collect wood and other plant resources.

		Tephra layers are recorded as contemporaneous with the forest-tree decline at five sites, though it remains is unclear whether this is coincidental or indicative of a causal relationship.

		As part of the survey work to identify suitable lakes, a range of analyses was done on surface samples collected from 62 small lakes across the whole region.
		The stratigraphy from four lakes in the Taitao - Chonos region show the general character of sedimentation which began after glacial ice retreated from the region some 14 4000 yr BP.
		This is determined by radiocarbon dating and from the presence of basal pollen assemblages devoid of tree pollen, indicating late glacial conditions.
