The hunters of PunoLos Cazadores de Puno [Multiple Languages]

One fateful day 9000 years ago in the high Andes Mountains, Warawara and Phaxsi successfully hunted two adult vicu a with their atlatls (spear throwers)--but they also inadvertently orphaned a baby vicu a. Wiskachita, their young daughter, pleaded to spare the cr a's life, but the small community of five families desperately needed the clothing and food it could provide. That night in their ichu grass house, Warawara and Phaxsi hatched a plan. They sheared the animal's fine wool and wove it into a baby's hat. The next morning, they presented the hat to a family in need and convinced the community to work together in caring for the cr a. In that moment, a little vicu a became a community member and the first vicu a in a herd that would grow to provide the community with warm clothing for life in the cold mountains. The story of Warawara, Phaxsi, Wiskachita, and their community was co-created by members of the Peruvian Aymara community of Mulla Fasiri and archaeologists from Peru and the US. It is based on traditional Aymara knowledge and archaeological excavations at the 9000-year-old site of Wilamaya Patjxa. Not only is this a story of a strong, innovative family, but it is also the story of a strong Aymara culture whose innovations have enhanced the modern world. In order to make the story accessible to different audiences, we tell the story in three languages-Aymara, Spanish, and English.

Un d a memorable, hace 9000 a os, en las altas monta as de los Andes, Warawara y Phaxsi utilizando sus est licas para lanzar dardos, cazaron con xito dos vicu as adultas sin darse cuenta de que dejaban atr s a una cr a hu rfana. Wiskachita, su peque a hija, suplic que perdonaran la vida de la cr a, pero la comunidad, compuesta por cinco familias, necesitaba desesperadamente la ropa y el alimento que los animales pod an proporcionar. Esa noche, en su casa de ichu, Warawara y Phaxsi idearon un plan. Esquilaron la fina lana del animal y la tejieron en un gorro para beb . A la ma ana siguiente, regalaron el gorro a una familia necesitada y convencieron a la comunidad de cuidar en conjunto a la cr a. En ese momento, una peque a vicu a se convirti en miembro de la comunidad y en la primera de una manada que, con el tiempo, proveer a a la gente de ropa de abrigo esencial para sobrevivir en las fr as alturas andinas. La historia de Warawara, Phaxsi, Wiskachita y su comunidad fue co-creada por miembros de la comunidad aymara peruana de Mulla Fasiri junto con arque logos de Per y Estados Unidos. Se basa tanto en el conocimiento tradicional aymara como en los hallazgos de las excavaciones arqueol gicas realizadas en el sitio de Wilamaya Patjxa, con una antig edad de 9000 a os. No solo es la historia de una familia fuerte e innovadora, sino tambi n la de una cultura aymara resiliente, cuyas contribuciones han enriquecido el mundo moderno. Con el fin de hacer esta historia accesible a diversos p blicos, la contamos en tres idiomas: aymara, espa ol e ingl s.
