The Tragedy of Toba: A Native Nation's Last Stand

In 1917, the last great armed resistance of Argentina's native peoples came to a bloody end in the Chaco region. This episode follows the story of the Toba people, their decades of resistance against criollo expansion, and the massacre that marked the final defeat of indigenous sovereignty in the country. We look at the role of the Argentine Army, the Franciscan missions, and the cotton economy that drove the invasion of their lands. Through the voices of survivors and the records of the time, we piece together a forgotten chapter of Argentine history—one that still shapes the Chaco today. Hosts Lucas and Luna also reflect on how history remembers its victims and what it means to tell these stories with respect.
