We should all know the Indigenous general Rumi Maqui (Stone Hand). He was Peruvian veteran of the War of the Pacific (1879-83), Chile's settler colonial war on Peru and Bolivia. Afterwards, Rumi Maqui re-indigenized & defended Native rights to their stolen land. Then in 1915, he led the Rumi Maqui rebellion in Puno, Peru, to retake the Indigenous land from the settler landowners.
