Product Overview
At present, Toba Indians inhabit the Argentine Chaco region; specially the provinces of Formosa, Chaco and Salta. However, they have also lived in the suburbs of cities, like Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Resistencia. The Toba Indians date back to some six thousand years ago; they were one of the first settlers of the Chaco region; they are of Mbay?-guaikur? linguistic stock, which include also Mocov? and Abip?n tribes. These indigenous people introduced the horse brought by the Spanish to the new world. They lived entirely on hunting and fishing owing to the incredible animal diversity of these lands. The word "chaco" derives from the Quechua "chacu" (great hunting ground). This book includes, among other stories, La serpiente que robaba miel, El jaguar y el quirquincho, and El misterio de la barra de hierro. Profusely illustrated, this work gives a historical, social, cultural and updated account on this community, . Likewise, it includes some Thematic Project ideas.
