The Het were the people of the northern Patagonian pampas west of the Paraná River: The Chechehet, the Diuihet or Didiuhet, and the Taluhet. The easternmost Didiuhet, near modern Buenos Aires and influenced by the Guarani, were called the Querandí (see).[1] It is not clear if these three peoples were related linguistically or only culturally.
The Het were neighbored on the north by the Chaná, on the northwest and west by the Mapuche, and on the south by the Puelche.
