Nenlhet

The Enlhet inhabit the northern part of the Paraguayan Chaco, a lowland of woodland and grassland with sharply contrasting wet and dry seasons. Their language belongs to the Enlhet-Enenlhet family, related to that of the southern Enxet. Traditionally, Enlhet communities moved through their country to hunt, fish and gather wild foods. Local knowledge of seasonal resources sustained life across a territory much wider than any single settlement.
