The Saraguro Quichua are the Quichua-speaking people traditionally living 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 Saraguro Quichua maintain a largely subsistence economy based on agriculture and pastoralism, made possible through extensive rural land holdings that also provide the capital basis for maintenance of cultural identity and resistance to change in their traditional system of family and community based sociopolitical authority.
