One fateful day 9000 years ago in the high Andes Mountains, Warawara and Phaxsi successfully hunted two adult vicuña with their atlatls (spear throwers)--but they also inadvertently orphaned a baby vicuña. Wiskachita, their young daughter, pleaded to spare the cría’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 cría. In that moment, a little vicuña became a community member and the first vicuña 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 día memorable, hace 9000 años, en las altas montañas de los Andes, Warawara y Phaxsi utilizando sus estólicas para lanzar dardos, cazaron con éxito dos vicuñas adultas sin darse cuenta de que dejaban atrás a una cría huérfana. Wiskachita, su pequeña hija, suplicó que perdonaran la vida de la cría, pero la comunidad, compuesta por cinco familias, necesitaba desesperadamente la ropa y el alimento que los animales podían 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 bebé. A la mañana siguiente, regalaron el gorro a una familia necesitada y convencieron a la comunidad de cuidar en conjunto a la cría. En ese momento, una pequeña vicuña se convirtió en miembro de la comunidad y en la primera de una manada que, con el tiempo, proveería a la gente de ropa de abrigo esencial para sobrevivir en las frías 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 arqueólogos de Perú y Estados Unidos. Se basa tanto en el conocimiento tradicional aymara como en los hallazgos de las excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas en el sitio de Wilamaya Patjxa, con una antigüedad de 9000 años. No solo es la historia de una familia fuerte e innovadora, sino también la de una cultura aymara resiliente, cuyas contribuciones han enriquecido el mundo moderno. Con el fin de hacer esta historia accesible a diversos públicos, la contamos en tres idiomas: aymara, español e inglés.
