Wikipedia
Chono
Chono, or Chona, is a generic name for a nomadic, indigenous people of the archipelagos of Chiloé, Guaitecas and Chonos. They are now extinct. The Chono became extinct during the 18th century with the last survivor going missing in 1875.The Chono lived as hunter-gatherers traveling by canoe. As result of a corsair and pirate menace Spanish authorities ordered to depopulate the archipelagos of Chonos and Guaitecas to deprive enemies of any eventual support from native populations. This the led to the transfer of population to Chiloé Archipelago in the north while some Chonos moved south of Taitao Peninsula efectively depopulating the territory. The Chonos in Chiloé ended up being absorbed by the mestizo and indigenous Huilliche population there.The putative Chono language is known only from local toponyms and from an untranslated catechism. Chonos served as maritime pilots in many of the expeditions undertaken by the Spanish to the Patagonian archipelagoes. Yet it was noted by some Spanish like José de Moraleda y Montero that the Chono did not always told truth and sometimes missled navigators.
