Chiloe and Chilotes: Proud Islanders of Chile

Season 1 Episode 108 | 26m 46s | CC

Chiloé is the second largest island in South America and just one island of an archipelago of southern Chile. Chilotes, as the residents are known, consider themselves a people apart, a proud mixture of indigenous and Hispanic origins. Host Dave Yetman joins Chilotes, who demonstrate the traditions of food, towns, and society that extend back well before the arrival of Europeans.
