Who they are
The Maká are an Indigenous people originally from the Gran Chaco region of Paraguay who work diligently to preserve their linguistic identity and communal traditions. Historically hunters and gatherers, many now live in communities near urban centers, earning a living through handicrafts. They face the challenge of keeping their culture alive amid rapid social change.
