Many communities look for alternative energies due to the lack and costs of electricity. There are almost 90 Mbya Guarani communities in the province of Misiones. The guaranì, one of the most important tribal groups of South America, are best known for their connection to the early Jesuit missions (1609-1767). For the Guarani, land is the origin of all life, but invasions by ranchers have devastated their territory and nearly all of their land has been stolen.
