@Mcgovekc: welcome to Wikipedia! I'd want to offer you some information and resources about the topic of the indigenous peoples of Uruguay. To start, the coverage of this topic is not fully comprehensive, but actually we could say there is a big gap of knowledge about it in Wikipedia. It is still under investigation by anthropologists regarding the prehistoric indigenous peoples that inhabited Uruguay at the time of settlement of the Americas but also the known peoples at the time of contact with European settlers.
About the resources, most of the time, the sources other than in English are "superficial" and broad, but generally don't go in detail over the topics of this subject, so you may have to read (or translate) sources in Spanish language to offer a more in-depth view of the subject.

  • Fiorotto, Daniel Tirso (2005) "Un chaná que habla su idioma"; La Nación, 26 de marzo de 2005, Suplemento El Campo: 5.
