		Central to his strategy is the empowerment of the ayllus, as the traditional government structures of indigenous communities are known in Bolivia, as elsewhere in the high Andes.
		Of the original nine ayllus in the Quila Quila region, only four have survived, and they have lost more than 90 percent of their land to outsiders.
		Ayllus in Coroma have asked for his assistance in establishing their own program of resource management.

		Ayllu festivals would have provided the setting both for the veneration of these ancestral mummies, and for the retelling of the origin myths of the ayllus.
		In the Inca empire 'tribute' was assessed in the form of public labour, the local ayllus having the obligation to work the lands, or herd the flocks of camelids, of the king and the gods in their local communities, as well as to perform 'turns of service' (mit'a) at state installations.
		The Incas also employed a strategy of population control and economic organization whereby certain ayllus, or segments of them, were moved from their home territories, at the will of the Inca, for purposes such as working on state projects or serving as guards at frontier outposts.

		The ayllu system has functioned continuously since before the invasion of the Incas in the 15th century, but it has weakened in the course of political developments in Bolivia since the 1950s.
		Meanwhile, she is organizing the development of ayllu community through the process of retrieving the weavings.
		She has taught the community, which is accustomed to oral records, how to inventory its ceremonial objects and create written descriptions and explanations of the meaning of the ritual weavings, q'ipis, cups and other objects.

		Estos protocolos fueron elaborados en base a los conocimientos y prácticas de 55 comunidades de médicos tradicionales y parteras indígenas quechuas articulados con los conocimientos biomédicos de los jóvenes profesionales que trabajan en estos dos municipios.
		Con este sistema se considera, firmemente, que la erradicación de la mortalidad infantil y neonatal en el país también depende de la articulación y complementariedad entre ambos sistemas y el involucramiento activo de todos los actores que luchan contra la pobreza, buscando la construcción de una sociedad más equitativa, inclusiva, y solidaria.

		Haciendas and Ayllus: Rural Society in the Bolivian Andes in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries (Hardcover)
		The existence of a Spanish and criollo landed elite and an Indian peasant mass has been the distinguishing feature of the Amerindian societies of Latin America for most of the past half-millennium.
		In Peru and Bolivia (colonial Alto Peru), the dominant theme in rural life was the interaction of these two groups as manifested in the relationship between the hacienda and the self-governing Indian communities (ayllus).

		The flexibility of the concept is related to the fact that ayllus were politically organized in segmentary structures that redefined their social boundaries and loyalties depending on the political context (Rasnake 1982).
		Each one of these ayllus was composed of a number of minor ayllus which in turn had a variable number of hamlets, identified as ayllus, annexes or simply by their given names.
		In 1815, for example, the ayllu of Laqueque was a group composed of two minor ayllus and multiple hamlets that extended from the puna of Ananea to the corn terraces in the vicinity of Sandia.

	Cultural Survival
		It is via the ayllus that individuals are linked conceptually to the past and to specific geographic features that mark the Coroma territory; to a sense of history, as well as to sense of future continuity.
		Ayllus are also an integral and necessary part of the cosmology, linking people to sacred geography and to the powerful guiding spirits of their ancestors.
		Venerated as the garments of the ancestors who founded the 10 ayllus, and whose spirits or souls are embodied in the garments, some of the textiles are 400 or 500 years old.

	Transformations in Andean Society
		Within a community, the ayllus competed for prestige and status and were rank ordered by various means such as position in the conquest hierarchy or degree of wealth as measured in amount of labor controlled.
		Because the right to rule was not based solely on consent of the ayllu members but also on the approval of the Inca, the loyalty of the curacas shifted subtlety toward the Inca.
		The domination of the acllas by the empire is symbolized in the burial rites of the secondary wives.

		This process has been in gestation since 1987 in the traditional Ayllus areas which have been engaged in reunification and reconstitution through the creation of federations, this is in resistance to forced arbitary unification.
		The way in which THOA works with Ayllus organisations and provincial federations in order to regenerate and strengthen the Ayllus is a process of rapid expansion which THOA needs to keep pace with through teaching (courses and seminars) and through consultancy with the organisational structure for its strengthening, institutionalisation and self-management.

		It is not only about doing business and then complaining in the city, in the ayllus it has always been that way as well, it is necessary to live with one's own work, in the cities and in the countryside.

		The society was stratified into farmers, artisans and the ruling ayllu, of priests and warriors, who appointed the malku (chief).
		By 1100, the ayllu of the Incas, from the Cusco Valley in Peru, had colonized the other Andean peoples and formed a confederation of states called the Tahuantinsuyo.
		Then came the capac, governors of the regions into which the empire was divided, and lastly came the curacas (leaders of the ayllus) and the farmers.

	The Inca Model of Statecraft
		These kin collectives are called ayllus, and the well-being of a couple is proportional to the size and holdings of their collective.
		The home territory of the ayllu often comprises a single community, usually of widely- scattered households because poorly developed highland soils require frequent crop rotation and fallowing.
		When a number of ayllu are concerned with common endeavors, such as building churchyard or cemetery walls, each constructs and maintains a specified section.

	Bolivia - SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
		Individual extended kin-groups known as ayllus tried to gain access to the resources of as many different ecological zones as possible.
		During the Inca era, ayllus maintained permanent resident colonies in each of the three natural regions, creating what anthropologist John V. Murra has termed a "vertical archipelago." These colonies ensured the Incas access to the varied products of plateau pasture and field, transitional zones, valleys, and tropics.
		The territory used by these ayllus encompassed regions from the high plateau to semitropical valley bottoms.

		The social and political organizational structure of the Highland Indians is the "Ayllu", with its communal land tenure and cultivation methods.
		Historically seen, the "Ayllus" were a subunit of the social and political territorial unit of the "seniorios", a type of miniature principality belonging to the Aymara and Quechua.
		In the present, the Ayllu still exist in the areas that were not split into Haciendas before the Revolution.

	Kallawayas - Bolivian Dances
		Their long treks through the Andean world and its surrounding taking health to the ayllus, they are recalled by the kallawaya dance that is present in the carnival in Oruro and they characterize for their agility for traversing the mountains.
		This entire world has been transported to the dance of the kallawayas, whose rich dance and costumary is the expression of the "yatiri" (healer) with his relevant status inside the community and of profound respect in the Andean world.
		The choreography is notable for the "llantucha" of "suri" that is the awning made of ostrich feathers that the itinerant physician uses for covering himself against sunburn or the raindrop in his long treks carrying spiritual and material health to the ayllus.

		The marka and its component ayllus are the basic social and territorial structures that have apparently characterized Aymara life since pre-Columbian and even preincan times.
		During the colonial period the marka of Jesus de Machaqa was comprised of 12 ayllus, which were divided into two partialities, The upper partiality was comprised of six ayllus, as was the lower partiality.
		During the latter years of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century, the remaining free ayllus of the altiplano were under enormous pressure from expanding haciendas.

	Mariategui (by L. Proyect)
		He proposed that the vast feudal estates be broken up and that the land be turned over to the Indians to reinvigorate the ayllus.
		Since the 1920s, the ayllus continued to be undermined by capitalist pressures.
		To show what I mean with an example: if we take Carhuapata, a largely subsistence Community [ayllu], where a number of the men work in the nearby mines for two or three years of their life, then it would be strange to talk about the Community 'resisting' capitalism.

		These cultures were based on the Ayllus that were like huge families formed by nuclear families, relatives and other people with some kind of relationship between them.
		It was that the Inca had some obligations towards each of the ayllus.

	Ayllu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ayllu were the basic political unit of pre-Inca and Inca life.
		These were essentially extended family groups but they could adopt non-related members, giving individual families more variation and security of the land that they farmed.
		This included ayni, or work in kind for other members of the allyu, and Mita, a form of taxation levied by the Inca government.

		It would be slanted to their own advantage and to the advantage of their own titular gods: the structure was not altered, the ayllus did not lose their communes, even if a part were confiscated, nor did the huacas and the curacas lose their properties.
		The changes introduced by the imperial officers re-sulted in the incorporation of the Inca into each conquered ter-ritory, since the Incas were content merely to claim for themselves and their gods the rights and privileges previously given from time immemorial to the ayllus and idols of the region.
		All the members of an ayllu received the same amount, even those who, owning a flock of llamas, could have done without, which proves that the family rights could not be prescribed, even though this made for inequality among them.

	Resident Scholars-Frank Salomon
		Tupicocha's nine khipus are held as sacred patrimony by eight of the ten corporate descent groups, called ayllus, and are displayed in annual civic rites.
		By working with village officers and artisans during two fieldwork seasons, Salomon compiled a wide variety of data bases, including a knot-by-knot registry of the specimens, and khipu terminology that might reflect lore inherited from the prehispanic art.
		He observed how khipus are handled in community work, ritual, and meetings, and he conducted interviews on how the descent groups, or ayllus, function in politics, production, and ritual.
