Resumen:
This article presents a toponymic study, where in addition to collecting toponyms, translating and locating them on a map, the explanations of the origins of each one are analysed and contextualized and the accounts obtained are compared with those of neighbouring areas. For this purpose a participatory mapping is employed, carried out together with inhabitants of the villages of Pescado Negro and Los Pocitos-Tay?ú, and unpublished material from interviews and stories collected in situ are analysed. The studied toponyms evoke narratives that describe a dynamic natural and social environment, inhabited by a multiplicity of beings (human and non-human, physical and metaphysical) intimately linked in a constant cycle of life and death, degeneration and renewal. The Wichi toponymic map is far more than a cartographic representation of the landscape, it addresses many significant topics for the Wichi and holds testimonies of the multidimensional human experience within the territory.
