Peru’s Quechua Indians: Culture and family traditions of the Inca descendants (Andes, Cusco Region)
Показать описание
Traditional knowledge and ritual practices are part of the cultural heritage of the communities surrounding the Qeswachaka Bridge in Peru. Their close relationship with the Pachamama (mother nature) has allowed them to survive in one of the most inhospitable places on the planet: the heart of the Peruvian Andes at 4000 meters above sea level.
Our protagonist, Victorian, is a Chakaruwak or "bridge maker", he lives with his family in the paramo. His wife is in charge of the preparation of the food and the home. His son, Vidal, studies in Lima and debates between the comforts of the city or the beauty of the traditional. This is an increasingly popular debate among the new generations that is raising the alarm of the elderly: they fear the loss of their customs and the oblivion of their people.
Indigenous Peruvians cultures were developed here for thousands of years before the arrival of Spaniards, their history, the history of the Quechua people, begins many years before the Inca civilization rose to power. Today, the Quechua people are not a single ethnic group, but rather several indigenous groups scattered throughout South America.
