	Enxet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Enxet are an indigenous people of about 17,000 living in the Gran Chaco region of western Paraguay.
		Nevertheless, the Enxet are still engaged in an ongoing conflict with the government and ranchers, who want to destroy what remains of the forest to open the land for massive settlement.
		Today, only a handful of Enxet are still able to maintain their traditional way of life, while the majority live in small settlements sponsored by various missionary organizations.

		Around 6,000 Enxet Indians lived in the Anglican Zone of the Paraguayan Chaco, they said, and before their lands were invaded, their main sustenance came from hunting, fishing, and gathering, although they had also cultivated small patches of land and bred some domestic animals.
		They explained that this failure to abide by the court’s decision undermined the possibility of land ownership by the Enxet indigenous communities of Santa Juanita, Riachito, Laguna Pato, and Los Lapachos, and that two years after the injunction was issued, the case was still at the preliminary stage.

		The Enxet were once self-sufficient hunter-gatherers, but most now live as exploited labourers on the vast cattle ranches which have engulfed their lands.
		Enxet land has been almost entirely taken over by ranchers, who have felled huge areas of their forest - often in a deliberate attempt to make the land unusable for hunting and gathering.
		Survival's work with the Enxet has in previous years persuaded the government to fund the return of some land from the ranchers to its rightful owners, and led to the cancellation of an Italian project which would have moved hundreds of settlers onto Enxet land.

		These groups, in particular the Enxet, are currently engaged in a protracted struggle with the Paraguayan government to obtain title to their ancestral lands - lands to which they are, according to the Paraguayan constitution, legally entitled.
		The Enxet, for example, are the group that has been given the most land, but the land granted constitutes only 20% of what they claim as their true territory.
		Many of these groups, such as the Enxet, have within their communities a low level of social organization; their groups tend to be socially "atomized" and place strong emphasis on personal autonomy.

	El Pueblo Enxet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Antes de la colonización del Chaco, los Enxet vivían en comunidades de entre 25 a 100 personas, utilizando las escasas zonas altas y con aguadas permanentes para construir sus viviendas y plantar sus chacras.
		A pesar de eso, los Enxet fueron físicamente expropiados de su territorio a fines del siglo XIX, cuando el Estado empezó en 1885 a vender las tierras fiscales: en pocos años, sesenta latifundistas, mayoritariamente empresas, adquirieron más de 115.600 kilómetros cuadrados de tierras, que poco a poco empezaron a ocupar.
		Por lo tanto, la lucha de los Enxet por la tierra constituye también una lucha para re-descubrir, mantener y fortalecer la cultura de un pueblo que estuvo amordazado durante más de cien años.
