Tuvicha Mini

Tuvicha Miní was a name used for an Indigenous leader associated with the Río Salado country south of Buenos Aires. Colonial accounts connect him and his followers with a Franciscan reduction near San Vicente in the early seventeenth century. The Salado crosses the open pampas towards the Río de la Plata, with lagoons and wetlands along its course. Indigenous communities occupied this country before and during the expansion of Spanish settlement.

The later city of La Plata lies here.
