14 The Branksome Slogan Tradition in My Country .Peru, far to the south, is a land steeped in the folklore of its native people, the scions of the Inca Empire. Down through the ages of dom- ination by the Cuzco monarohs, the Indian vassals were fed on tra- dition. Their ruler was of supernatural origin, since the founders of the dynasty came out of Lake Titicaca in response to an order from their father Inti, the sun. Thus the sun was their chief diety and was wor- shipped daily by millions of followers throughout the empire and was brought into every phase of national life. This state of affairs lasted for many centuries and became second nature to all of these American natives. Then came the conquest, when Pizarro and his Spanish soldiers took advantage of the civil war between Huayna Capac ' s two sons to sub- jugate the empire. Thus Spain came to claim all the western half of Soutih America and the Pope duly gave them territorial rights with the condition that the natives be taught the Catholic Religion. Now the Indian brought up for centuries in the belief in the Inca ' s divinity, was forced to change his creed. This proved to be extremely difficult. The new Christian saints, for them, became different forms of their ancestral gods. Gradually the distinction between pagan and Christian became less acute as the two intermingled to form a new type of Cathol- icism. The country on the surface was Christianized, but the old tradi- tions still remained deeply (buried in every Peruvian heart. By this time, they no longer constituted a religion, but rather a group or collection of myths, which was looked upon as a great national heritage. The freedom typified in these ancient stories began to stir up the thoughts of educated people throughout the country and finally incited them to revolt and eventually to achieve independence. They now had a nation in the true sense of the word and in its organization tradition again stepped in. Take as an example the Peruvian flag. It is said that one night the ' ' Liberator, San Martin, saw in a dream, a large flock of red and white sea-birds flying over his camp. As he watched they formed themselves into three bands ; two red bands, one on either side of a white band, and in this formation flew out to sea. On awaken- ing, the Liberator felt that this was an indication of what his new country ' s flag should be. He issued a decree to this effect. The same influence is noted in the National Anthem. The forti- tude and strength of the Indian forbears are extolled although nothing is known directly about these qualities. The inspiration came from the old traditions.
