Fifteen years ago I learned about a letter written by Guaman Poma to Phillip III. The letter—a critique of Spanish abuses of the Inca people— was written in a mix of Spanish and Quechua around 1616. It was lost until 1909 and then wasn’t transcribed 1936. No one believed the Quechua was a written language. In 1980 he first digital edition was put together, but it wasn’t translated to English until 2009. Today I share this book with my students for BSA’s LatinX Cultural Festival.
