abstract = "This article argues that it is time to write the history of “the” Spanish conquest of the Andes from Andean perspectives. What did the history of conquest mean for sixteenth-century colonial Andean people? Building on new insights into the fabric and authorship of Mart{\'i}n de Mur{\'u}a{\textquoteright}s 1590 Historia y genealog{\'i}a and by comparing it with contemporary Andean evidence, this article shows how an Andean “wak{\textquoteright}a history-idiom” was at the heart of colonial Andean telling and writing about “the” conquest. To some colonial Andean people, conquest appeared as something that Andean wak{\textquoteright}a had truly foreseen. In retrospect, wak{\textquoteright}a foreclosures were verified by history. This same history idiom also enabled colonial Andeans to understand the two other companions of Spanish conquest: Christianization and epidemic disease. In part, Spaniards adopted this Andean mode of telling history when they began to incorporate native approbation-letters into their own accounts of “the” Spanish conquest.",
