The Ona were a Native American ethnic group who occupied most of the large island of Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America. The Ona were divided into two main groups, the Haush and Selk'nam, who were distinct both dialectically and culturally. As of the 1990s, the Ona are considered to be extinct. The Ona language is closely related to Tehuelche. Subsistence was based primarily on hunting and the Ona were nomadic.
