Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala

chronicler

Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala was a 17th-century indigenous chronicler from Peru, best known for his work 'Primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno'. This treatise provides a critical account of the abuses faced by indigenous peoples during the Spanish conquest, and it is considered one of the earliest forms of indigenous literature in Latin America, blending history with a personal narrative directed toward the Spanish crown.
