From [|Wikipedia]: Approximately 96.4% of Ecuador's Indigenous peoples are Highland Quichuas living in the valleys of the Sierra region. Primarily consisting of the descendents of Incans, they are [|Kichwa] speakers and include the [|Caranqui], the [|Otavaleños], the [|Cayambi], the [|Quitu-Caras], the [|Panzaleo], the [|Chimbuelo], the [|Salasacan], the [|Tugua], the [|Puruhá], the [|Cañari], and the [|Saraguro].

Coastal groups, including the [|Awá], [|Chachi], and the [|Tsáchila], make up .24% percent of the Indigenous population.

The remaining 3.35 percent live in the Oriente and consist of the Oriente Kichwa (the Canelo and the Quijos), the [|Shuar], the [|Huaorani], the [|Siona-Secoya], the [|Cofán], and the [|Achuar].

[|Trinkets and Beads] - Filmed over two years, Trinkets and Beads tells the story of how the Huaorani tribe of the Ecuadorian rainforest, are attempting to survive on their own terms in the petroleum age. The film tells how the evangelical oil company MAXUS set out to convince the Huaorani known as the fiercest tribe in the Amazon - to part with their oil and their land. "Its not just about exploiting oil, its about who controls the rainforest, it's everyone's concern because this is the heart of the world" Moi - Huaorani Leader
