The Mascoyan-speaking Enlhet Norte and Enxet Sur lived a migratory life, hunting, fishing, and gathering in the Gran Chaco region of Paraguay. They became settled ranch hands and seasonal laborers when their territory was sold to British investors and settled by Mennonite farmers.  Traditionally, Enxet and Enlhet society was composed of extended uxorilocal families, led by shamans. Such bands congregated periodically for social and ritual purposes.
