The Andean people have developed their own forms of resistance and rejection against efforts to dominate, oppress and suppress their customs and liberties. This essay will trace a pattern in their forms of resistance from the sixteenth century with the disappearance of the last independent Inca stronghold in Vilcabamba in 1572. The final resistance of Túpac Amaru in the said mountain range drove the expansion of the "inkarri" myth. The said myth served as the indigenous community´s symbol for their desire for freedom and for the return of their native customs and traditions in the eighteenth century, led by Juan Santos Atahualpa and Túpac Amaru II. Finally, this essay will reflect on the said movements and their relationship with messianism in the twentieth century.
El pueblo andino ha desarrollado sus propias formas de resistencia y rechazo a los intentos de dominio, opresión y supresión de sus costumbres y libertades. Podemos trazar una continuidad en dichas formas de resistencia desde el siglo XVI, con la desaparición del último reducto inca libre en Vilcabamba en 1572. La resistencia final de Túpac Amaru en dichos territorios, fomentará e impulsará la expansión del ya conocido mito del "inkarri". Dicho mito servirá como abanderado del anhelo de libertad y vuelta a los usos y costumbres indígenas del siglo XVIII, lideradas por Juan Santos Atahualpa y Túpac Amaru II. Finalmente apuntaremos reflejos de dichos movimientos y sus concepciones mesiánicas de retorno en el siglo XX.
