Considering the Hotel Canal Beagle in Ushuaia?

A VT member wrote the following comment about visiting Ushuaia:

The Yamana History by andal13
Tierra del Fuego was inhabited 11.000 years ago, but the natives arrived in Beagle Channel 7.000 years ago. Four ethnic groups peopled this area: Kawesar (or Alakaluf), Yamana, Selk'Nam (or Ona) and Haush. The Yamana people inhabited the place where nowadays is Ushuaia and the National Park; yamana means "human being", "to be alive". These natives were nomadic, they built canoes with tree barks, and were good fishers and hunters, and they ate mussels, fishes, seals, mushrooms, berries, birds. They lived naked, and covered their bodies with fat; the fire always burnt at their huts and canoes.
When the Europeans arrived, they brough unknown diseases and changed the Yamanas way of life; in a few years, these natives disappeared.

Tierra del Fuego fue habitada hace 11.000 años, pero los nativos llegaron al Canal de Beagle apenas hace 7.000 años. Cuatro etnias poblaron esta zona: Kawesar (o Alakaluf), Yamana, Selk'Nam (u Ona) y Haush. Los yámanas habitaron el lugar en donde ahora se encuentra Ushuaia y el Parque Nacional; yámana significa "ser humano", "estar vivo". Estos nativos eran nómadas, construian canoas con corteza de árboles, y eran buenos pescadores y cazadores, y se alimentaban de mejillones, peces, focas, hongos, frutos, aves. Ellos vivían desnudos, y cubrían sus cuerpos con grasa; el fuego siempre ardía en sus refugios y canoas.
Cuando los europeos llegaron, trajeron enfermedades desconocidas y cambiaron el estilo de vida de los yámanas; en unos pocos años, estos nativos desaparecieron.
