indigenous peoples of the Pampas

The indigenous peoples of the Pampas are native groups who historically inhabit the fertile plains of Argentina and Uruguay. Traditionally nomadic or semi-nomadic, they relied on hunting, fishing, and gathering, and later on cattle herding. Notable groups include the Guarani, the Comechingón, and the Querandí. Despite facing colonization, land dispossession, and cultural change, some communities maintain their unique languages, traditions, and identities today. Their history is integral to understanding the region's cultural roots and ongoing efforts toward recognition and cultural preservation.
