Mussallem3

Mussallem3 Charrua The Charrua were a native tribe living in the area of what is now Uruguay. (Charrua-2) These tribes were typically nomadic meaning they never settled anywhere. (Charrua-1) They walked freely throughout the land finding food as they went. (Charruas-3) They are responsible for the killing of hundreds or Europeans when they first arrived in South America. (Charrua-1) Because the tribes fought so hard to prevent the Europeans from settling, they eventually gave up and returned home. (Charrua-3) Unfortunately, decades later once the Europeans had successfully settled in Uruguay, the president at the time ordered the mass killing of all the natives. (Charrua-2) Very few survived to continue the blood line. (Charrua-3) There are no 100% Charrua anywhere in the world, however, traces of their decent can be traced to find several hundred with Charrua ancestry still living in Uruguay. (Charrua-2)
