Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas is a province of the Republic of Ecuador where Loma Linda is located. Its capital is Santo Domingo, 15 minutes away. Its population is approximately 500,000 in 2008, fluctuating as it is the third largest city with more population following Guayaquil and Quito its population is growing rapidly as it has a rich agricultural trade and the largest livestock market in the country. Organic fruits and vegetables abound including avocados, oranges, cacao, sugar cane, pineapple, yucca, tomatoes, and many exotic fruits unknown to most.
The Tsáchila tribe of Ecuador live in the canton of Santo Domingo only thirty minutes from Loma Linda, in the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. The men of the tribe are notable for shaving the sides of their heads and shaping the remaining hair into cap-like form with a mixture of grease which is dyed bright red with achiote seeds. The reason they wear their hear this way is because after many many of their tribe and neighboring tribes were perishing from Smallpox disease centuries ago, they asked Spirit to guide them to a cure via ceremony and prayer. They were guided to the Achiote plant , whose inside seed is the shape that they wear their hair in after dying it with the seed's red color. They covered themselves completely in the red dye and after 3-4 days people stopped dying. They are forever grateful to this plant for curing them and saving their entire community from extinction via the Smallpox disease.
They speak the Tsafiki or Tsáchila language of the Barbacoan linguistic family. The men wear horizontally striped dark navy/black and white skirts, and the women wear brightly colored horizontally striped skirts. Their common name “Colorado” (meaning colored) was given to them because when they were discovered by the Spanish they were covering their entire bodies in the red dye of the seeds, as the cure and prevention of Smallpox, and the Spaniards thought that that was their true color- Red.
The main city of the area is known as Santo Domingo de los Colorados in tribute to these lovely, indigenous people. The Professor and wife routinely visit their visitor's location and have partaken in their healing ceremonies.
