Most of the remaining Charrúa are massacred…

Only a few escape. (Four of them will be taken to France in 1833, including Tacuabe, to whom there is a monument in Montevideo, Uruguay.)

Not much is known about the Charrúa due to their eradication at this early time in Uruguay history.

The only surviving documents that concern the Charrúa are those of Spanish explorers.

An indigenous people of southern South America in the area today known as Uruguay, northeastern Argentina and southern Brazil, the Charrúa, a are a nomadic people that sustain themselves through fishing and foraging.

They do not build permanent structures, living instead in tents.

Charrúa people are believed to have killed Spanish explorer Juan Díaz de Solís during his 1515 voyage up the Río de la Plata.

Following the arrival of European settlers, the Charrúa have been progressively killed and integrated into the prevailing colonial cultures.

After Salsipuedes, the Charrúa effectively cease to exist as a people.
