Abstract
The Guarani people currently occupy a large area of the Bolivian Gran Chaco (Fig. 6.1). They speak a language which belongs to the Tupí- Guaraní linguistic family which historically covered a wide territory in the greater Amazon basin. According to tradition, Guarani groups moved west into the region that is today Bolivia seeking the Ìvì Maraëì-Land Without Trouble prior to the arrival of the Spaniards. When the Spanish entered the Chaco, the Chiriguanos Guarani of Isoso were established and well-organized, having earlier defeated the Chanés and other groups in the area. Guarani were defeated by the Bolivian state in 1896, at the massacre at Kuruyuki. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
