Description: This image depicts a disabled Andean woman who cannot walk, kneeling in front of a house on the ground as she does chores. She is reaching to what appears to be a plate of food and there is a cloth bag to her left. The author explains that the disabled people of Spanish colonial Peru suffered much mistreatment and ostracization from priests, nobles, and lords. The woman has dialogue written by her face which reads, ninallayqui diosrayco, cristiano yacullayqui diosrayco, llamtallayqui diosrayco, micuyllayqui diosrayco [your fire, christian, is for God, your water, christian, is for God, your wood is for God and your food is for God].
