Features: The Aymara are Native Americans living in South American countries such as Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru. For over ten thousand years, the Aymara have survived in the cold and arid mountainous regions. They earn their living through farming, herding, and fishing. They have also fought many wars against those who invaded their lands. However, even in difficult times, the Aymara have preserved their ancient culture and language. They still live as their ancestors did—farming, herding, and fishing. But they have also adapted to modern life and are successfully blending old and new ways of living. The Aymara of South America tells their story of struggle and success while showcasing their future.
