[Adaptative strategies of Toba Indian migrants in the Greater Buenos Aires area].
A 11-family sample is presented. All adults therein are Toba Indians, born in Colonia Chaco, Province of Chaco, Argentina. They are now living in poorer districts of the Northern sector of the Greater Buenos Aires. The first migrant group arrived in B.A. in 1969 and settled down in shantytowns (villas miseria). Their substituting the district (barrio) for the shantytown points out their longing for a change in their situation. Their current situation, however, could be summed up as an underpaid suboccupation, with precarious dwelling, scarce food and clothes, deficient medical care, and a schooling system divorced from their own daily life. Subsistance strategies this Toba group has adopted are quite similar to the strategies other marginal or subaltern groups resort to.
