Ethnic group From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chácobo are an indigenous people of Bolivia who number 1,532 in 2012.[1] They primarily live near the Ivon y Medio River and Benicito River in Beni of northeastern Bolivia. One band also lives near the Yata River.[3]
"Chácobo" comes from a neighboring language. Their autonym is Nóʔciria, meaning "We who are truly ourselves." They are also known as the Pacaguara, Pacaguara de Ivon, or Pachuara people.[4]
The Chácobo language is a Chákobo language belonging to the Bolivian Panoan languages, which are part of the greater Panoan language family. The language is taught in bilingual schools and written in the Latin script.[5]
In the past, Chácobo people lived on the northern shore of Lake Rogo Aguado and upper reaches of Rio Yata.[2]
Chácobo traditionally were nomadic and fished, hunted, and gathered wild plants, with farming only playing a minor part in their lives.[3]
