Pride of the Incas: Peru’s Indigenous people at a crossroads | SLICE

In southern Peru lies the 15th-century citadel of the Inca, Machu Picchu on a 2,400-metre mountain range. In spite of being dubbed as the ‘Lost City of the Incas’, it still represents Inca spirituality to the Indigenous peoples of the Andes and the Sierra. Despite the discrimination and pressure to conform to the rest of society, the descendants of the Incas wear their traditional garments with pride.

In another part of Peru, the resistance is much more ambiguous. In the village of Shintuya of Madre de Dios region, Machiguenga shaman Mateo speaks on the irreversible influences the Western society has had on Peru’s Indigenous population.
