ABSTRACT
Prior to the advent of the Europeans in South America, the territory that we call Argentina today was inhabited entirely by Indians, otherwise called Native Americans. They subsisted on agriculture in the coastal lands of their great rivers, such as the Colorado, Rio Negro, and Rio Salado, and on some hunting on the pampas. On the pampas were nomadic and marauding Indian tribes with their livestock. Kingdoms and leadership structures were maintained among the Indian tribes.
