Diaguita
The Diaguita were a group of indigenous peoples speaking the Cacán language who lived in the valleys of north-western Argentina and north-central Chile. Skilled farmers, potters and metalworkers, they came partly under Inca rule in the fifteenth century and fiercely resisted the Spanish in the Calchaquí Wars until the 1660s.
