Scope and content This collection of 6 documents discusses the Saraguro Quichua, a Quichua-speaking people who have traditional lived in the highland Andean valleys of Saraguro Canton, Loja Province, with significant colonization beginning in the latter decades of the 1900s of the upper Amazonian Yacuambi river valley, Zamora-Chinchipe Province, Ecuador. The documents in this collection include historical information but focus on the latter half of the twentieth century. Linda Belote describes ethnic relations between rural Indians and town-dwelling whites in the Parish of Saraguro, Loja Province, Ecuador. Religion is discussed as another sphere of ethnic competition, highlighting the role of a progressive (white) priest in social change. The author also touches upon often interrelated forces of outmigration and transculturation. Belote and Belote review the roles of three institutions in promoting culture change among the Saraguro Quechua during the middle- to late-twentieth century. In order of importance these were: folklore music groups, religious organizations, and the Andean Mission, a government development agency who's featured modernization programs included sanitation, furniture, textiles and clothing, and agriculture and animal husbandry. James Belote's dissertation is a study of the changing adaptive strategies of the Saraguro indigenes who live in the southern Ecuadorian provinces of Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe. His study is divided into three major parts: background information on the highland region; "the highland adaptation", an analysis of the Saraguro economy; and "the lowland adaptation", cultural and economic adaptation to living conditions in the lowland region. Ruthbeth Finerman presents a succinct culture summary of the Saraguro people who live in Loja Province in Ecuador's southern Andes. Major emphasis in the study is on illness, theories of illness, treatment of the sick, and life cycle events related to problems of health.
