Aboriginal culture

 When assigning name to the native aboriginal group of the lands it is incurred in the error of calling them as other cultures they baptized them (by way of nickname) in relation to the place where they settled or some characteristic that identified them. Patagonian or Pampas called them the Spaniards and Tehuelches the Araucanians. This way the true name was ignored that themselves was assigned. In the region that he/she understands the System Ventania the Cheche-het they were: mountain (extinct) I populate of the mountains of Buenos Aires, well-known as the primitive pampas and one of those but primitive of the region. It was understood by two called tribes TALU - het and DIUI-het. However, we should consider the sure existence of other so many ones, in different periods of the history, of those which perhaps don't have knowledge.
 
Due to the family relationship that contained to the members of the bands and the existent rivalries among them, the aboriginal youths put on makeup with special reasons to be recognized as wife searchers and not to be treated as enemies, to the being of neighboring bands. Of there those legends of forbidden loves are born as the Legend of the Verbena it Punctured. In general, the manifestations by means of the skin were employees for several ends: for the love, for the war, for ceremonies of imposition of the name of a boy, of feminine and masculine initiation, and for I finish, of having felt clánico or of lineage, through the ritual tattoo of the arms (fact with thread or sow introduced under the skin), generally developed in dances with spirits corporeizados (gualicho). to see activities totémicas.
 
Of mentioned the above-mentioned it is inferred the high grade of importance and employment of artistic manifestations in the customs and aboriginal beliefs, that which allows us to understand, in certain measure, the relevance of the manifestations rupestres in caves and eaves of the region. However, these manifestations until the moment give place to a great hypothesis variety that you/they go a lot but there of the reasons before detailed. The used colors but old they are red clear and black, then the yellow appear and white and for I finish the red ones dark and scarce green. In general, this habit of reproducing hands would be related with magic ends. The style of negative of hands would go back B.C. to the 8º millennium
 
It would be coherent to imagine women like authors of the style and therefore, to link them to ceremonies of interest or feminine gravitation. In tehuelche shade and spirit they are oneself word (mystic shade). I Date outstanding to consider serious the location of the places, caves or important hollows and with an orientation of these, certain. The represented fingers would have a symbolic interpretation, being the possibility of a habit of mutilation of fingers to manifest pain for the death of a near relative, or the one of trying to preserve the life of a dying one. Considering the universal use of the digits of the hand like accountants, we can outline another hypothesis guided to a social or genealogical sense of this type of manifestation rupestre. I should leave in clearing for a correct evaluation of that exposed that leaves of the information recabada for different authors he/she comes off of cultures that although they had incidence in the region, their non serious origin the mountain one southern. The importance of this relapses in the fact that the basic necessities of all alive being are conditioned to the possibilities that it offers the environment (I give refuge, feeding, etc.), marking big differences among cultures of different atmosphere. (E.g.: region pampeana and mountain region).
