Origin and tradition

Aymara traditions around Lake Titicaca and their early colonial documentation.

The letter of 1600 connected to Carabuco features the name Tumcapa and a cross. The 1603 letter drawing on material from Juli uses the name Tunupa. The shift between two records by the same writer shows how local traditions and the interpretations of their recorders can differ.
