These are some native names I found. I'm posting them to share as I found origin and meaning!!. I'm not sure how reliable this source is, but it seems really interesting!!

Just so you know, Mapuche is a native tribe that inhabits Chile, Quechua is a native tribe that inhabits Perú, The Aymara on the Bolivian and Peruvian Highlands, Tupí are a Brazilian civilization and the Guaraní are from Paraguay,(All of them South American).
