Aboriginal Myths And Traditions Concerning The Island Of Titicaca Bolivia

Excerpt from Aboriginal Myths and Traditions Concerning the Island of Titicaca, Bolivia In a subsequent conversation the wizard stated that Atahuallpa lived on the island and Huascar at Cuzco, and that after the time of the inga-re the lake once dried up so completely that people from Huaicho came over on foot and killed the Chullpa then living on Titicaca. From one or the other Indian we obtained at least partial confirmation of this. All seemed to agree that the sun had made its first appearance on the Sacred Rock, and that the inga-re originated on the island.

Indigeneity and Decolonization in the Bolivian Andes: Ritual Practice and Activism explores how Evo Morales’s victory in the 2005 Bolivian presidential elections led to indigeneity as the core of decolonization politics. Anders Burman analyzes how indigenous Aymara ritual specialists are essential in representing this indigeneity in official state ceremony and in legitimizing the president’s role as “the indigenous president.” This book goes behind the scenes of state-sponsored multiculturalist ritual practices and explores the political, spiritual and existential dimensions underpinning them.
