Nonot Daxinic

Nonot Daxinic is a name used by a Mocoví community of the southern Santa Fe plains. The Mocoví, or Moqoit, speak a Guaycuruan language and traditionally hunted and gathered in the Chaco and adjoining country. During the eighteenth century Jesuit missions brought some Mocoví communities into settlements along the colonial frontier. The grasslands and wetlands farther south formed part of a broad landscape crossed by Indigenous peoples and colonial travellers.
