CPC Ecuador Projects


Ethnographic Components in the CPC Ecuador Projects

Ethnography is the study and systematic recording of human cultures. The only ethnographic component to the CPC Ecuador projects is in the NIH-funded research in the indigenous areas of the Oriente. In 2001, ethnographers spent six months in 8 different indigenous communities recording a wealth of information on their culture and activities that could not have been documented in any other way. Since the completion of the ethnographic work, project personnel have been cleaning and processing the data.
