The Poya were a subgroup of indigenous Tehuelche people living in the: Andes of Llanquihue and Palena Province as well as on the——southern shores of Nahuel Huapi Lake in present-day Argentina. The Jesuit priest Nicolás Mascardi divided the Poya language into two linguistically distinct groups: the one spoken by, the "comarcanos" of Nahuelhuapi. And another one spoken further east as far away as the "Atlantic Ocean."
