at the top of the Inca social class and was considered a god in many
ways. Villac Umu they were the highest priest just under the Sapa
Inca in social status. The Royal Family is relatives of the Sapa
Inca.Inca-by-privilege - As the empire grew, the emperor needed
more people he could trust in high positions in the government.
These people were considered nobles but not as high as the true
Incas.

Public Administrators: The Curacas were the leaders from
the tribes that were conquered. They were often left as the
leaders of their tribes. Tax collectors each family or ayllu
often had a tax collector that kept watch over them. They
made sure that they paid for all of the taxes. Record
keepers had to track who had paid their taxes and where
the supplies were stored, there were many record keepers
in the government.

Commoners: Artisans were commoners. They were also ranked
a higher social class. They worked on crafts such as pottery
and gold jewelry for the nobles. Farmers were at the bottom of
the social class. They worked long hard days.

The Ayllu:The basic unit of society was called the Ayllu. An Ayllu
usually is made up of a number of families that work together.
