The article stated that 10% of Argentine population belong to aboriginal peoples. That figure has no grounds at all. It is probable a misinterpretation from the author, based on a genetic study that showed that 56% of Argentine population had at least one aboriginal ancestor. Of those, 10% had aboriginal ancestors by both paternal and maternal lines, which would make a rough maximum of 5.6% of the population, or about 2 million persons. On the other hand, census bureau statistics of 2001 show that 2.8% of Argentine households host at least one person that claims to belong to, or to descend from, the indigenous population. INDEC, the official statistics agency together with INAI (the National Institute of Indeigenous Affairs), has been conducting exhaustive research since 2001 to refine those figures and to establish the number of self-recognized members of each ethnic group. As of 08/17/2005, figures on the followng ethnic groups were available:
- Toba (provinces of Chaco, Formosa and Santa Fe): 47,951
- Wichí (provinces of Chaco, Fromosa and Salta): 36,135
- Mocoví (provinces of Chaco and Santa Fe): 12,145
- Pilagá (province of Formosa): 3,948
- Chulupí (provinces of Formosa and Salta): 440
- Diaguita Calchaquí (provinces of Jujuy, Salta and Tucumán): 13,773
- Kolla (provinces of Jujuy and Salta): 53,019
- Guaraní (Tupí Guaraní and Avá Guaraní -- provinces of Jujuy and Salta): 23,002
- Mbyá Guaraní (province of Misiones): 4,083
- Chorote (province of Salta): 2,147
- Chané (province of Salta): 2,097
- Tapieté (province of Salta): 484
