 History of the Falkland Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Falkland Islands were uninhabited when discovered by Europeans, but the recent discovery of the remains of a wooden canoe is strong evidence that they had previously been visited, most probably by the Yaghan people of Tierra del Fuego.
It has also been suggested that the Falkland Island foxes, or warrahs, found on the island were introduced by the Yaghans, bearing as they did a resemblance to the culpeo or Fuegian fox.
An archipelago in the region of the Falkland Islands appeared on maps from the early 16th century, suggesting they may have been sighted by Ferdinand Magellan or another expedition of the 1500s.
