About
editThey were related to the other tribes in the area likeCharruaandGüenoa.[4][5]Currently, no one claims Minuane ancestry in Uruguay. The tribe seems to be extinct in its full blooded form. However, some studies show that Minuane ancestry is present in some Argentinian people living in Entre Rios.[citation needed]
In 1583, the conquistadorJuan de Garaywas killed in battle against the Minuane nation. TheBattle of Yí(batalla del Yí) occurred In 1702 in theBanda Oriental.There, 2000Guaraníesmisioneros and Spanish killed 300 minuanes, charrúas andyaros,and captured 500 more.[6] After 1730, together with the Charruas, they attacked the Spanish invaders in Montevideo in an effort to recover their lands. In 2 campaigns in 1749 and 1750 the governor of Santa Fe, Francisco Antonio de Vera y Mujica, invaded Minuane territory and massacred them in today's city of Victoria in Entre Ríos. Many survivors were captured and translated to the province of Santa Fe, forming a reserve in Cayasta. In 1751, the governor ofMontevideo,José Joaquín de Vianakilled 120 Charruas-Minuane in Uruguay. Later they allied withJosé Gervasio Artigas,the Uruguayan national hero.
In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, there is a type of wind known as the "Minuanowind "(vento minuano).
