Tokuah

The Wichí live along the headwaters of the Bermejo and Pilcomayo rivers in Argentina and Bolivia, and anthropologists class their faith as animism and shamanism. They worshipped the beings of nature and held that a supreme being, Tokuah, ruled the world.

Shamans fought disease with song and rattles, and some used the hallucinogenic plant Anadenanthera colubrina. The Wichí believed in both a good and an evil spirit, and in the souls of the dead being reborn in animals.
