Yokcushlu, c. 1831

... that Yokcushlu (pictured) was a hostage on the HMS Beagle before she was introduced to Queen Adelaide? Source: "She was one of the hostages seized by Robert FitzRoy, captain of HMS Beagle... Queen Adelaide was particularly taken with Yokcushlu, and gave her a bonnet, a ring, and some money."
- ALT1: ... that Yokcushlu (pictured) was taken hostage on the HMS Beagle and named after a basket? Source: "She was one of the hostages seized by Robert FitzRoy, captain of HMS Beagle... Yokcushlu was named Fuegia Basket by the men who had to build a make shift coracle-like basket to return to the Beagle following the theft of their boat."
- ALT2: ... that Yokcushlu (pictured) was taken hostage on the HMS Beagle and Charles Darwin wrote that she had a "rather pleasing but sometimes sullen expression"? Source: "She was one of the hostages seized by Robert FitzRoy, captain of HMS Beagle." and "Lastly, Fuegia Basket was a nice, modest, reserved young girl, with a rather pleasing but sometimes sullen expression, and very quick in learning anything, especially languages."

- Comment: This is a touch late. I think a variety of hooks would work with this article and am open to suggestions.

Created by Gobonobo (talk). Self-nominated at 03:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Yokcushlu; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New, long enough, definitely interesting, pictures properly licensed, no close paraphrasing, hooks cited to reliable sources and verified. My preference is with ALT1, or another hook that would quote her "results" in phrenology as a likely useful member of society etc. ~~Just needs the QPQ to be wrapped-up, Gobonobo.~~ Dahn (talk) 16:00, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
