significant number of Kichwa speakers arrived as part of the larger migration from the largely Indigenous south-central highlands of Ecuador, particularly in the 1990s from the Azuay-Cañar region, but also via Quito, Cuenca, Otavalo, and Salasaca, among other places. In New York, they have settled near larger Ecuadorian and Latino communities in and around Corona (Queens), Ridgewood (Queens), Bushwick (Brooklyn), Parkchester (Bronx), and the suburb of Spring Valley. But there also appear to be distinctly Indigenous clusters related to town of origin, one example being the hundreds of Kisapincha families in and around Bushwick, of whom some have started moving to Canarsie due to rising rents. Community member and ELA collaborator Charlie Uruchima, who is also part of the Kichwa-language radio station Kichwa Hatari broadcasting from the Bronx, estimates that there may be as many as 8,000-10,000 speakers in the city.
