From the article:
---
When the Beagle set sail from Plymouth for the south Atlantic in 1831, with
Darwin in the charge of Captain Robert Fitzroy, it was also taking three
young Patagonian Indians home after a bizarre social experiment.
His charges - two of them still children - had spent the previous 15 months
living on the outskirts of London, where they had been the subjects of what,
viewed through modern eyes, seems like an astonishing act of imperialism.
