I recently returned from Peru where I stayed in the Cusco area. And
anyways there is a native people living around that area called the
Quechua. In fact I visited a Quechuan village not far from Cusco called
Chinchero. The people were very friendly there. I was wondering if anyone
has any information as to there descendants: were they descended from the
Inca? I asked many people in Peru, and got mixed responses. Also their
language: where did it originate? Any information would be greatly
appreciative.
Thanks,
Andy.
