Luis the Shepherd was an older Spanish speaking resident of Tierra del Fuego. In 1620, he took in Ben and Ned, who had washed up on the Tierra coast outside of his farm. Luis was a kind and generous sheep herder, although he was very poor. He lived in a cave made partly from a rock and the wood and material from wrecked ships. Luis the Shepherd died in 1623 after suffering injuries from falling off of a cliff.
