The Chono, or Guaiteco[1] were a nomadic indigenous people or group of peoples of the archipelagos of Chiloé, Guaitecas and Chonos.
The Chono people lived as hunter-gatherers traveling by canoe.[2]
Much of what is known from Spanish sources on Chonos is filtered by a Huilliche worldview, as Huilliches and Huilliche language was used to communicate with Chonos.[3]
