ACTIVITY 1

1. Read the following passage. The Pachamama is

usually translated into English as “Mother Earth”,
although the more literal translation would be “World
Mother”. She is an Andean indigenous goddess. She is
worshipped in the region of Tawantinsuyu, the former
Incan Empire, which now includes the Andean regions
of Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, and northern
Argentina. In Incan mythology, she presides over
planting and harvesting crops and can cause
earthquakes. She is also the goddess of fertility. In the
Quechua cosmovision, the four principles – Water,
Earth, Sun, and Moon – come from her. She is the
mother of the Sun god Inti, and the Moon goddess Mama Killa. She is offered many sacrifices,
especially animals like llamas and alpacas. Rituals to honor her are celebrated all year, but
especially in August, which is the coldest month of the year in the southern Andes. With the arrival
of the Spaniards, in some regions of the Andes, the Pachamama was replaced by the Virgin Mary.
But those who believe in the Pachamama can maintain a balanced, reciprocal relationship with
her. It is said that if people treat the Pachamama well and offer her the best sacrifices, then she in
return will give them a good harvest
