The Amerindians of the Andes were more concerned with their own autonomy than with the independence of nations, preferring to maintain their own culture and way of life instead of forming alliances with outsiders, including Bolívar. They had successfully resisted assimilation by the Spanish by avoiding contact with them, and were not interested in being subjugated by another group, whether it be Spanish or native. Therefore, they refused to ally with Bolívar and maintained their independence.
