The Incas built a sophisticated economy where poverty didn't exist. The tribute tax system required a community to give their labor to a state project, not pay in gold. Also, wealth was measured by how big your family was, since a bigger family worked more.
The system was so advanced there were protections for the workers, elderly, diasabled, sick, and "poor" (those with smaller families). And, through it all, Incas had no money, no homelessness, nor hunger☀️🗻

The major indigenist journal Amauta (1926-30) had Indigenous writers in it. Francisco Chukiwanka Ayulo, a Quechua lawyer from Puno, Peru, fought to return Indigenous land back and even created a Quechua-Aymara alphabet. He even had direct bloodline to the Incan nobility. Chukiwanka Ayulo wrote in "Amauta" about the need to support Indigenous peoples and he was a friend of esteemed indigenist José Carlos Mariátegui. #peru #indigenous #inca #native #andean

Life lesson: The importance of #community should never be underrated.
It is, in fact, essential for surviving the hardest of times.
What #RealLife #traditions does your community have?
Here in #Merida, the tradition if the #Andean #paradura is alive and well. Yesterday we celebrated the last ones of the year spending the day in collective prayer, catching up with neighbors, and sharing the tastiest of food. My heart is full, my roots have been nourished, and I know my place is here.

@jepyang Ayni - 500 Años (or 500 Years) I met them busking on the street in Toronto when I was in high school. They said their label had gone bust, and I think they were selling off the remaining stock of their albums to raise enough money to get back home. They were a group of Aymara Indigenous artists from Bolivia, and their music is #Andean #IndigenousStyle (hashtags for links to some other stuff of the same style). I have a cassette copy of this album; I believe they had at least one
This reminds me a bit of #Andean #Sculpture from #ArtHistory class, where people would 'trace' mountains with mounds as a form of reverence.

Should clarify that this #Andean #IndigenousStyle #music is not traditional Andean indigenous music, but rather a modern contemporary music style from the Andean region that is loosely derived from traditional Indigenous music of the Andes. And this particular group is actually English.
