Lule

The Lule people lived in the western Chaco, east of the Andean valleys of Salta. Their country lay among the rivers and wooded plains of a region that Spanish authorities and missionaries sought to bring under their influence. In the early eighteenth century Jesuits gathered Lule people at the mission of San Esteban de Miraflores on the Salado River. A report written in 1725 described the mission and the difficulties of extending missionary work across the southern Chaco.
