Eexiwa

Eexiwa is remembered by the Terena as a country around the Paraguay River, extending from its western bank towards the hills of Albuquerque on the eastern side. The Terena speak an Arawak language and share a Chaco heritage with other Guaná peoples. Their communities combined cultivation with relationships to neighbouring peoples, including the mounted Mbayá. The river and its adjoining plains formed part of a wider homeland before the colonial frontier took its later shape.
