Comechingón
Comechingón (plural Comechingones) is the common name for a group of people indigenous to the Argentina, Argentine Provinces of Argentina, provinces of Córdoba Province (Argentina), Córdoba and San Luis Province, San Luis. By the end of the 17th century, most Comechingones had been killed or displaced by the Spanish colonization of the Americas, Spanish conquistadores.
