What were the indegenous people of Peru called? All I know is that they were not called the Incas.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Before the Incas there were many Precolombian cultures (los Chancas, Mochica, Moche, los Wari) and it's interesting to note that while the Egyptians were building their pyramids in Egypt, pyramids were also being build in Perú!

Perhaps you are thinking of the quechuas because their language is still alive today in Perú

Sra

Thank you. My teacher said that it wasn't the Incas because that was the name of the emperor. He was called the Inca. However I still don't know what they were called.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum again. Los incas were the advanced indians that Pizarro conquered. He captured the emperor Atahualpa and through him controlled the Incas.

The indigenous people of Peru were not a single homogenous group, but rather a diverse array of different ethnicities and cultures. However, one of the most prominent and well-known indigenous groups in Peru, excluding the Incas, were the Quechua people.

To find this information, you can start by conducting a basic search on the internet using keywords such as "indigenous people of Peru" or "native groups in Peru." This will provide you with numerous sources and articles that can help you understand the different indigenous groups in the country.

Another method is to consult reliable reference materials such as books or encyclopedias that specialize in the history and culture of Peru. These resources often include sections dedicated to the indigenous peoples of Peru, providing a comprehensive overview of their cultural practices, languages spoken, and historical significance.

It's important to note that while we often refer to the Inca civilization when discussing the historical aspects of Peru, there were many other indigenous groups in the region who had their own unique identities, languages, and contributions to the country's history.
