Pitlaxa

Pit’laxá is the name used by the Pilagá, an Indigenous people of the central Chaco. They speak a Guaycuruan language related to those of the Qom and Mocoví. Their homeland includes the wetlands and dry woodlands of the Pilcomayo basin, a landscape transformed by seasonal floods. Traditionally people hunted, fished and gathered wild foods, moving between places where water and other resources were available.
