Nakotoi Indian Tribe (Gran Chaco)

The Nakotoi Indian Tribe resides in the southern region of the Pilcomayo, a region located along the Río Pilcomayo in central Paraguay (Kerr, 116). The aboriginies of this tribe are descendants of the highly renowned Redskin Tribe (Kerr, 116). The Natokoi treated all neighbors as enemies, but none more so than the Tobas Tribe and the Nimká Tribe, their respective neighbors to the southwest and northeast (Kerr, 116). Guerilla warfare has long existed between the tribes, isolating the tribe from direct intercourse with the European settlers in the late 1800's (Kerr, 116). Men of this tribe are generally tall and skinny, built like hunters or warriors, whereas women are short in size (Kerr, 117). The Natokoi dress in a rug, fastened around the waist-line (Kerr, 117).
