Otuke

The Otuke were one of the Indigenous peoples of Chiquitania in the eastern Bolivian lowlands. Their language belonged to the Bororoan family. From the late seventeenth century, Jesuit missions in Chiquitos gathered people from many distinct groups into new settlements. Otuke descendants became part of the Chiquitano population, whose communities inherited a history shaped by both the older peoples of the region and the mission period.
