Juan de Santa Cruz Pachacuti-yamqui Salcamayhua, An Account of the Antiquities of Peru (c. 1613; first printed in English, London 1873)

An Andean nobleman from between the Canas and the Canches wrote the history of his own people in Spanish, signing it with five generations of his ancestors and opening with a full profession of the Christian creed - including the statement that the natives of Ttahuantin-suyu descend from Adam like every other nation on earth, white and black alike. The orthodoxy is the condition of the record: it is what allowed an Andean chronology, in Quechua terms, to be written down at all.
