Dapiguemlec

Dapigueml’ec is a name used for western groups of the Qom, also known as Toba, in the Gran Chaco. Qom communities speak a Guaycuruan language and traditionally hunted, fished and gathered across forest, grassland and riverine wetlands. They moved within extensive territories as the seasons changed the distribution of food and water. The Bermejo and its tributaries run through this lowland country toward the Paraguay River.
