The Quichua people in Ecuador are remnant descendants of the Inca. In other parts of South America, they're called Quechua. But not in Ecuador.

I am constantly amazed by their resilience and their ability to keep traditions alive.
Interesting history, very nice shots! I think you captured a slice of life very nicely. Am I correct in thinking they are waiting at a clinic for medical treatment?

Thank you, Angela. That's about the only place I do "street" work. But it's such fun to show folks what it's like in that land I truly love.

You are correct, Steve. We set up our clinics in their church building(s) and they had to wait in line to register. Ecuadorians don't wait in line nicely, so when we could, we put out benches so they could sit.

Thank you, Will. Sometimes the "back story" lends a bit of understanding to the image.
