A Quechua Weaving and Dyeing Presentation from Chinchero
Full disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. ?
I recorded this presentation in Chinchero, Peru, during my 2011 Quechua mission. Quechua is a family of related varieties rather than one completely uniform language, and Runa Simi is a name used by speakers in Quechua contexts.
From the blog’s origin era (2009–2014) – kept as lived proof of the method. See all the missions.
The video shows a traditional fabric and dyeing presentation recorded in Chinchero. Lucy gives the presentation, and Soledad helped me understand the recording when I prepared the original subtitles.
YouTube’s public record still identifies the video as “Quechua video: Peruvian fabrics and dyeing presentation; Eng, Spa, Que captions” on my channel. I have not independently reverified the historical Spanish and Quechua subtitle tracks or identified the exact Quechua variety used in the recording, so treat those details as part of the 2011 archive rather than a current language lesson.
My thanks to Lucy for giving the presentation on camera, and to Soledad for helping with the original multilingual subtitle work.
