Tehuelche

expand_more Description

The Tehuelche were primarily hunter-gatherers living mostly in Patagonia, Argentina, and Southern Chile. In the 1880s, they were conquered by the Argentine government and forcefully confined to reserves. This process led to near complete assimilation of the Tehuelche with Araucanians and settlers of European descent.
