But for some cultures, magic is part of their reality, and maybe more than in any other case, the Indians of Tierra del Fuego have been the ones who could paradoxically be counted among the most primitive human groups in material terms, and among those of the highest spiritual development, almost like if their culture had evolved in a very specific path, disregarding everything else.

The Indians that inhabited this argentine province lacked words to express gratitude or courtesy; they had no chieftains and no gods. Their survival depended not on miracles, leaders or heroes, but on what they could made of an extremely harsh polar climate and what they considered as an extension of their own existence.

For those Indians, reality was divided in three different universes: one was that of the human existence itself, the dimension of being humans. The second one was that of nature, which was considered as an extension of the former; for those people, a mountain, an animal or a tree was exactly the same as a human. The third dimension was the magical world, which was accepted as coexisting with the other two; there was no past, no future and no up or down.

We are mostly accustomed to aiming our vision of the cosmos on godly ideas or men. We can be religious (i.e. spiritual) or materialistic, but those Indians divided their reality in these three dimensions without any interest in putting emphasis on any of them; for progress to grow, they would have had to add importance to their human dimension, but they saw o reason for that whatsoever. Magic was accepted as something as normal as talking to a rock, which was as usual as talking to other people.

Doubtlessly, this basic philosophy hampered any material progress, but it made them reach incredible heights in their spiritual and intangible intellectual development; superficially they were absolute brutes, but any of those Indians was able to use daily a vocabulary of about 30.000 words which described their particular world with a detail that may be difficult to understand, for they had a dozen words describing different kids of rain, or snow, and cloud types and the mood of the rocks on the beach; this is about six times more concepts than any other human being in any civilisation.
