Ch'unchu people

The Ch'unchu (Quechua for native of the forest (Amazon Rainforest) / a certain folk dance / barbarian) are an indigenous ethnic group in South America. At the time of the Spanish conquest, the Ch'unchu lived in the forests east of Cusco, in central Peru. They dwelled in communal houses and lived chiefly by hunting.

Ch'unchu has also been used to describe one of three aboriginal stocks of Peru, the others being Quichua and Aymara.
