The Guarani tribe

 The Guarani are primarily a tribal people indigenous to Paraguay and some regions of Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. Paraguay consisted of numerous seminomadic, Guarani-speaking tribes of Indians, who were recognized for their fierce warrior traditions. They practiced a mythical polytheistic religion, which later blended with Christianity. These peoples are generally classified as short and stoutly built, averaging but little over five feet, and are rather light in colour. The men wear only the G-string, with labrets on the lower lip, and feather crowns. The women wore woven garments covering the whole body. The Guarani were hunter-gatherers, they depended primarily on intensive agriculture supplemented by fishing, hunting, and gathering; the staple crops were corn and manioc. Their housings were big communal houses that harbored thirty or more families in which they had no social classes and they existed based on cooperation and mutual help.
