The Ache (pronounced Ah·CHAY) Indians are a traditional hunter-gatherer tribe living in Paraguay. They are called “Guayaki” by Guarani speaking neighbors and in early anthropological accounts. The earliest published reports (Lozano 1873-74 summary of Jesuit accounts in the 1600s) about the Ache refer to them as “Guajagui”, a term based on the Guarani root “Guaja” (= enemy tribe, or brother-in-law) and “gui” a common Ache suffix (meaning “essence of” or “having the property of”).

The Ache (pronounced Ah·CHAY) Indians are a traditional hunter-gatherer tribe living in Paraguay. They are called “Guayaki” by Guarani speaking neighbors and in early anthropological accounts. The earliest published reports (Lozano 1873-74 summary of Jesuit accounts in the 1600s) about the Ache refer to them as “Guajagui”, a term based on the Guarani root “Guaja” (= enemy tribe, or brother-in-law) and “gui” a common Ache suffix (meaning “essence of” or “having the property of”).

The Ache are also culturally and biologically distinct from the neighboring Guarani. Early descriptions of the Ache emphasized their white skin, light eye and hair color, beards, Asiatic features, and practice of cannibalism as identifying characteristics.
