The Spanish military imposed by force their religion and government to the people of the land. The great warrior Jumandi, tired of the terrible treatment his people received in the hands of Spaniards. And conscious of their strength, organizes his best men and invites the people of the forest to expel the invaders from their territory. #Jumandi #Ecuador #indigenouspeople #culture #ethnicity #indigenouspeoplestruggle #Amazon #Amazonbasin #warrior #history #Napo #Archidona #JumandiYuyay ecuadorjoannansilmin.blogspot/2014/12/jumandi-yuyay-intercultural-fair-in.html
