Yaro people

Map of Charruan-speaking tribes of Uruguay

Yaro were one of the native nations of Uruguay[1] and Argentina (Entre Ríos). A minor tribe, they were closely related to the Charrúa people,[2] who they were exterminated by.[3]

Nowadays a street in Montevideo (Cordón neighbourhood) bears their name.
