Indigenous peoples in Ecuador

The Indigenous peoples in Ecuador or Native Ecuadorians (Spanish: Ecuatorianos Nativos) are the groups of people who were present in what became Ecuador before the Spanish colonization of the Americas. The term also includes their descendants from the time of the Spanish conquest to the present. Their history, which encompasses the last 11,000 years, reaches into the present; 7 percent of Ecuador’s population is of indigenous heritage, while another 70 percent are Mestizos of mixed indigenous and European heritage. Genetic analysis indicates that Ecuadorian Mestizos are of three-hybrid genetic ancestry.
