Fine Woven Crafts by the Q’ero People of the Andes
Your purchase of these fair trade handicrafts helps Q’ero families maintain their traditional culture. All proceeds help support community-based projects in partnership with heartwalkfoundation.org. Five hundred years after Spanish Conquistadors invaded South America and decimated the great Inka Empire, the Q’ero people survive in tiny villages that lie between 12,000 and 16,000 feet in elevation. The climate is cold all year. In these harsh and remote lands, little has changed for five centuries. Like all indigenous communities in Peru, the Q’ero face severe pressures regarding the fate of their ancestral lands, the survival of traditional practices, and their place in Peruvian society.
