Jumandi is a national hero of Ecuador. He is one of the initiators and leaders of the struggles against, first the Spanish conquistadores and then their descendants, who has not been widely recognized in the national historiography. When the Spaniards arrived to Ecuador, in the Amazon basin they found a warlike people, the Kihos-Nawkis, who were also great ceramists and farmers. 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
