The Yagán women also were superior basket makers, intricately interlacing rushes in their craft.
Harvesting shellfish was another of their common activities.
The females were also in charge of rowing the canoes, while the men dedicated themselves to fishing.
The women painted their faces with three colours: white, around the eyes, and the rest of the face with horizontal and black and red lines.
Ceremonies like the Chiejaus had specific facial paint patterns.
Men and women used bracelets made with beads of bones of birds and shells. While the men used them only on the ankles, the women wore them on the wrists and ankles.
In daily life, the Yagán women made baskets, bags of leather and bladders, to be used as containers, in addition to loops made of whale beard, according to the observations of the chronicler Bouganville.
