Society: The Inca people were separated into different social roles. The “Inca” were actually the highest members of society (the king to the nobles); anyone lower was not considered “Inca”. After the fall of the Inca Empire people started to refer to all the citizens of the Inca Empire as the Incas. * The king was called “Sapa Inca”, and he was at the top of the social hierarchy. A third of the total resources the people produced went to the king and the rest of the government. * Below the king was the high priest, or the “Villac Umu”, and spoke to Inti directly. * The royal family, or the direct relatives to the king. * The nobility- people directly related to the direct relatives of the royal family. There were also nobles who became nobles by becoming extremely educated and trained to do so, but were still considered to be lower than your generic run-of-the-mill nobility. * Public administrators consisted of tax collectors, record keepers, and leaders of the conquered tribes, the Curacas * There were the common folk, artisans and farmers, who were the lowest on the social pyramid of the Incas.
There were also groups called, “Allyu”, which everybody was apart of, and was the basic unit of society.
