Abstract The relationship between researchers and society in general, but particularly between the former and native american populations sets a degree of complexity that cannot be tackle neither through the fields of Bioarchaeolgy or Public Archaeology separately. The general objective of this work is to contribute to the discussion on possible strategies that might broaden our professional practices by promoting new networks of relationships that articulate and reconfigure both fields in our country. To explore this approach, we present the case of the Salesian Mission Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria, located on the north of Tierra del Fuego. In this sense, the Salesian Mission becomes an appropiate stage to explore this articulation, while at the same time recognizing that each case is traversed by its history and local peculiarities.  Perhaps renouncing absolute authority to speak of the past is one of the keys to transforming the discipline, making it more democratic and multivocal, as well as humanizing it in order to incorporate other aspects and levels of analysis beyond the traditional perspectives of the  scientific work.

Palabras clave : human remains; Salesian Mission; restitution; Selk´nam; Tierra del Fuego.
