TOLA, Florencia e MEDRANO, Celeste. Circuits in a named space: toponimy and ethnoecological kwnowledge among Toba people. Folia [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.233-254. ISSN 0325-8238.
Qom (or Toba) people are one of the hunter-gatherers groups of the Gran Chaco. Different texts documented subsistence activities of this group. Sources of beginning of XXth century, refer to the existence of circuits within the indigenous territories that were visited successively and delineated the hunting and gathering activities. Contemporary authors described diverse aspects of the toponymy and the territory of Toba people. In our fieldwork in communities of the center-south of Formosa province (Argentinean Chaco), we registered not only an important toponymy, but also information about the ancient and present circuits that united the named places. These circuits have also a name and a specific drawing. This last aspect refers to a regulation of the species hunted and fished. This paper describes, in an interrelated way, ethno-ecological knowledge and mobility among Toba people.
