Patángoro people

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Patángoro, also called the Pantágoro, were a Native American people of Colombia who lived on the banks of the Magdalena River.[1][2] Instead of class strata, they were grouped by clans that practiced matrilineal succession.[1] Artificial cranial deformation was a feature of Patángoro society.[2]
