Guanes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Guanes were a South American people that lived mainly in the area of Santander and north of Boyacá, both modern departments of Colombia. They were farmers cultivating cotton, pineapple and other crops, and skilled artisans working in cotton textiles.
The Guanes made their own weapons, including arrows and spears. They interchanged plants for the stewpot with the Chitareros on the east and the Chibchas from southern Colombia.
The Guanes spoke a Chibchan language.
