Nakaigetergehe

The Nakaigetergehé were one of the groups of the Abipón, a Guaycuruan-speaking people of the Gran Chaco. Eighteenth-century accounts distinguished them as people of the forest from other Abipón groups associated with open country. The Abipón adopted horses and became mobile hunters and formidable riders. Jesuit missionaries founded settlements among them along the colonial frontier, recording a society divided into several local groups.
