"The Aymara People of Tiwanaku"
The Aymara have dwelled on the high plateau of Bolivia and Perú for millennia, adapting their economic, social, political and religious worlds to the rigorous environment of their homeland which lies at over 14,000 feet.This talk explores the deep history of the Aymara, who were one of the principal ethnic groups that constituted the ancient empire of Tiwanaku in the period from about 400 to 1100 CE.
I will focus on the extraordinary system of intensive agriculture that underwrote the economic power of the empire, but also discuss the social and religious worldview of the Aymara, rooted in the ancient culture of Tiwanaku, that still structures indigenous life on the high plateau today.
