Note 401 — Chapter LXXVIII
Clements R. (Clements Robert) Markham translation
The Huancas were the inhabitants of the valley of Xauxa, or more properly Sausa. They are described by Garcilasso as living in small villages strongly fortified, and worshipping dogs. The Huancas mentioned by Cieza de Leon, were probably Mitimaes sent into the Chachapoyas district by the Yncas.
