Descended in part
Hi.
On a Peruvian island in the middle of the Lake Titicaca, hundreds of people stand in silence as a priest recites a prayer. Descended in part from Inca colonists sent here more than 500 years ago, they keep many of the old ways.
Does the underlined part suggest that not all the people sent there are descended from Inca colonists?
