Giatusos

Giatusos , a tribe of Indians, living on the banks and head waters of the Rio Frio, which flows into Lake Nicaragua at its S. extremity. The country of these Indians, who are popularly supposed to have comparatively fair complexions and red hair, has never been penetrated. The attempts made by the Catholic missionaries and the governors of Nicaragua to reach them, though often renewed, have always been repulsed. A body of men under the commander of the fort of San Carlos endeavored to enter their country in 1849, but they were driven back. There are some reasons for believing that they are of the same Aztec family which occupied the western shores of Lake Nicaragua, and that they still preserve their original language and habits.
