Notes

Lynn A. Meisch

This culture summary is from the article, “Otavalo” by Lynn A. Meisch, in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, [Vol. 7, South America, Johannes Wilbert, ed. Boston, Mass.: G. K. Hall & Co. 1994. Norman E. Whitten, Jr. was instrumental in the separation of the original Ecuadorian Highland Quechua collection (SD13) into this (SD 16), the Quito Quichua (SD15), and the Saraguro Quichua (SD17) collections, and recommended the new documents included. The synopsis and indexing notes were written by Leon G. Doyon in June 2009.
