Appearance
Gregoria Apaza (June 23, 1751– September 5, 1782) was an Indigenous leader in Bolivia.[1] In 1781, she participated with her brother Julian Apaza (Tupac Katari) and sister-in-law Bartolina Sisa in a major Indigenous revolt against Spanish colonial rule in Bolivia.[2] These Aymara leaders laid siege to the cities of La Paz and Sorata before being defeated and executed in 1782.[3][4]
