Indigenous Peoples In Uruguay
Indigenous peoples in Uruguay or Native Uruguayans, are the peoples who have historically lived in the modern state of Uruguay. Because of genocidal colonial practices, disease and active exclusion, only a very small share of the population is aware of the country's Indigenous history or has known Indigenous ancestry. Scholars disagree agree about the first settlers in what is now Uruguay, but there is evidence of human presence from 10,000 BCE. Indigenous Uruguayans disappeared in the 1830s and, with the exception of the Guarani people, Guaraní, little is known about these peoples and even less about their genetic characteristics. The Charrúa peoples were perhaps the best-known Indigenous peoples of the Americas, Indigenous people of the Southern Cone in what was called the Banda Oriental. Other significant tribes were the Minuane people, Minuane, Yaro people, Yaro, Guenoa people, Güenoa, Chaná people, Chaná, Bohán people, Bohán and Guaraní people, Guaraní, and the Arac ...

Arachán People
Arachanes (sing. Arachán) were a group of Indigenous peoples in Uruguay of dubious existence (known through only one document). Their origin is not very well-known, but some scholars consider them (if they existed) to be different from other local ethnicities. They were said to have come from the Inca Highlands (currently Bolivia and Peru) thousands of years ago. Their name is composed of two elements: "eastern", "oriental" () + " Canna" (), as they used to cultivate Cannaceae as staple food. Legacy Nowadays the people of Cerro Largo Department are sometimes known as "arachanes", in memory of this extinct local ethnicity.

Uruguayan People
Uruguayans () are people identified with the country of Uruguay, through citizenship or descent. Uruguay is home to people of different ethnic origins. As a result, many Uruguayans do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship and their allegiance to Uruguay. Colloquially, primarily among other Spanish-speaking Latin American nations, Uruguayans are also referred to as "'' orientals s in Easterners'" (). Uruguay is, along with much of the Americas, a melting pot of different peoples, with the difference that it has traditionally maintained a model that promotes cultural assimilation, hence the different cultures have been absorbed by the mainstream. Uruguay has one of the most homogeneous populations in South America; the most common ethnic backgrounds by far being those from Spain, Italy, Germany and France i.e. Spanish Uruguayans, Italian Uruguayans, German Uruguayans, French Uruguayans and Polish Uruguayans.
