		Bougainville remarked that the Tehuelches were not giants but "what seemed gigantic to me was their great built."[3] Other recorded contacts with the patagonic indians were made by the Nodal brothers in 1610 and by James Cook in 1769.

		Their influence extended between the river Aconcagua and the Argentinian pampa: the Picunches lived in the central valleys of Chile (they integrated with the Incan Empire and then with the Spaniards), the Mapuches inhabited the Valleys between the Itata and Toltén Rivers, the Huilliches, the Lafkenches, and the Pehuenches.
		Also, the northern Aonikenk (called Patagons by Magellan) ethnic group of the pampa regions made contact with some Mapuche groups, adopting their language and some culture; they are the Tehuelches.
		Although they didn't have a national structure, they successfully resisted Incan colonization.

	The Patagonian Giants
		For instance, Antonio Pigafetta, who sailed with Magellan in the 1520s, had written of an encounter with a race of South American giants.
		According to Pigafetta, Magellan referred to these giants as 'Patagons' because of their big feet, and so the southern tip of South America came to be known as Patagonia.
		In 1578, Sir Francis Drake's ship chaplain, Francis Fletcher, also wrote a manuscript that described meeting very tall Patagonians.

		The first Europeans to lay eyes on this land were led by Ferdinand Magellan, the first explorer to cross the perilous Straits that bear his name today.
		His expedition named the continent Land of the Patagons, or Big Feet, because of the large footprints they found in the snow, giving rise to the myth of a race of giant Patagonians.
		They saw the smoke of native fires darkening the southern horizon, so they named this region Tierra del Fuego, or the Land of Fire.

		He says, indeed, that Magellan gave them the name of Patagons, because their stature was five cubits, or seven feet six, but, if so, his own account is inconsistent with itself, neither has he told us in what language Patagon expresses this stature.

	Voyages and Travels Volume 10
		But the principal reason of this long stay was in consequence of a mutiny which broke out, not only among the common men, but was even joined or fomented rather by some of the captains, particularly by Don Luis de Mendoza, on whom Magellan had placed great reliance.
		On this occasion Magellan acted with much spirit; for, having reduced the mutineers to obedience, he brought their ringleaders to trial for plotting against his life; hanged Don Luis de Mendoza and a few others of the most culpable; leaving Don Juan de Carthagena and others, who were not so deeply implicated, among the Patagons.
		The weather growing fine, and the people being reduced to obedience, Magellan set sail from Port St Julian, and pursued his course to the latitude of 51° 40' S. where finding a convenient port, with abundance of fuel, water, and fish, he remained for two months longer.
