There were laws agains slavery, but no way to enforce… so people were being taken and enslaved to work to cultivate rubber
Guns came in with the rubber boom (1880s)... those working with rubber bosses (mestizo)
were given guns… capture members of other groups for labor purposes. (some would also take heads and “shrink” them)
Also people fled from correrias or were taken by Caucheros and moved them far away1910 - Price of rubber crashes when East Indian plantations go into production

things that could spread and kill the trees, so India could have actual rubber plantations.Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UN) (1948)General Assembly of the UN approves

The entry of **British textiles**, especially of cotton goods, into Ecuador further undermined the
local textile economy in the nineteenth century. Whereas poor transportation and
communications between regions had provided natural protection for locally produced goods
early in the century, this protection began to decrease as communications were improved
after the 1860s. The result would be a crisis in artisanpeasant production in the northcentral
highlands.The mita was abolished in 1812Concertaje became illegal in 1918 but persisted for at least another ten years.
The debts of parents were inherited by their children; although this was outlawed from time to time,
for example in 1833, the practice continued into the twentieth century (Oberem 1981: 315)Approximate Actual end of concertajeAs the nineteenth century ended, patterns emerged in the Otavalo region:
- Otavalos as a distinct group;
- wasipungu & other forms of exploitative farming relations;
- production spinning & weaving, usually in the context of forced labor or debt servitude;
- the export of Otavalo textiles throughout the northern Andes;
- increased workload for women & ruptures in traditional land inheritance patterns;
- conflation of class with social and legal constructions of race;
- the simultaneous depiction of OIntroduction of casimir production in northern highlands (rather than twill)
- sometime around this time.
Otavalo production served white-mestizo market in the absence of British market
(absent due to the onset of WWII)By 1940s, Otavalos selling meat or cloth in Tulcán had begun to cross the border
into Colombia to sell textiles. Still, travel was not common in that era.In the 1970s illiterate indigenous women in
Ecuador received the right to voteCódigo de MenoresThe 1924 Geneva Declaration stated that humanity “owes to the Child the best that it has to give.”
