Indigenous Peoples of Argentina

The Indigenous Peoples of Argentina are the original inhabitants of the region, with diverse cultures, languages, and histories. They include groups like the Mapuche, Quechua, Guarani, and Diaguita. Historically marginalized and often displaced, many continue to preserve their traditions, languages, and identities despite challenges. Recognized legally but frequently facing social and economic hurdles, these communities strive for greater rights, land protection, and cultural acknowledgment within Argentina’s diverse society.
