Ñusta Hisp'ana

Ñusta Hisp'ana is a term that refers to the daughters of the Inca Emperor and Spanish conquistadors during the colonial period in South America.

Okay, so imagine there was once a powerful king who ruled over a big group of people. This king was called the Inca Emperor and he lived in a place called South America.

Now, one day, some people from a different place called Spain came to South America and took over. They were called conquistadors. They had a different skin color and spoke a different language than the people already living there.

Sometimes, the Inca Emperor's daughters would marry these Spanish conquistadors. A daughter is like a princess, who is a girl who is really important because she is related to the king.

When the princesses from the Inca Emperor's family married the Spanish conquistadors, they were called Ñusta Hisp'anas. This is a special term for when two different cultures come together and make something new.

So, in simple terms, Ñusta Hisp'ana means the daughters of the Inca Emperor and Spanish conquistadors who got married and mixed their cultures together.
