Tsiripa

Tsiripá, also written Chiripá, is a name associated with Avá Guaraní communities of eastern Paraguay. Their language belongs to the Guaraní branch of the Tupí-Guaraní family. The forested country between the Paraná and Paraguay rivers was home to many Guaraní communities before Spanish conquest. In the seventeenth century missionaries established settlements among some groups, while others continued to live outside the missions.
