Additional Details

The ayllu was a Quechua and Aymara system of communally held land based on extended kinship groups which survived the Spanish occupation and continues in some forms today. This series of 4 brief reports relates to Spanish taxation of ayllus in the Huaura province, in the villages of Parrián de Velasco and San Bartolomé de Huacho (today's coastal city of Huacho). The first is from "Juan Pizarro Indio," seeking relief from taxation due to poverty in the Bilca ayllu. The third describes a speech given in the public square, explaining to the Indians in their own language their responsibility to pay taxes.
