Guarani Indians captured by slave traders.
The Guarani are a group of culturally related American Indians from the countries of Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia. Puerto Guarani in Paraguay is named for the Guarani people. They lived in Indian reductions (reservations) in the Patagonian Peninsula of South America, and made up 7.4% of the Argentine population in 1836, later sinking. Today, there are only 257,400 people of the Guarani tribe living today.
