A member of an indigenous South American people, historically found in the Gran Chaco region of what is now Argentina and Paraguay.
From the native language name of this people. The term entered English through anthropological and historical records of South American indigenous groups.
The Abipones developed incredible riding and hunting skills on horseback, and they were known for their fierce resistance to Spanish colonization—their language and culture are now largely lost, like so many indigenous histories!
