Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Treasure of Cocos Island: A Story of the Indian Ocean "The Quichua and Aymara, or the Inca Indians, have no relations or sympathies with the Indians of the plains, who in their turn hold the civilized Indians in great contempt. These descendants of the Peruvians under the empire of the Incas are still numerous, notwithstanding the many causes which have tended to diminish their numbers, and form a distinct race, preserving the language and manners of their ancestors, their habits having been only somewhat modified by the circumstances in which they have been placed since they came under the dominion of the Spaniards. The Quichuas are mild in character, apparently subdued and apathetic - qualities which are but the natural result of the state of subjection and debasement in which they were long held by their conquerors. They are, however, robust and muscular,and capable of great endurance, though little inclined to labor. Their customs are rude and simple, their mode of living poor in the extreme. The Aymaras are perhaps more mobile in character, but in other respects similar." (Encyclopoedia Britannica, Vol. IV, pp. 14, 15.)
