Fernando Chaves Reyes (February 13, 1902 - 1999) was a novelist, essayist, and journalist. He was the first Ecuadorian writer to depict an indigenous theme in his writings. Chaves was Ecuador's ambassador to El Salvador, Ecuador and Nicaragua.〔(Ecuatorianos en Japon: KANSAI Fernando Cháves Reyes )〕 Chaves' novel ''Plata y bronce'' (Silver and Bronze) (1927) was the first indigenist novel in Ecuador. Chaves was influenced by the Bolivian novelist Alcides Arguedas, who in 1919 wrote the indigenist novel ''Raza de bronze'' (Race of Bronze). Chaves' novel influenced other future indigenist novelists of Ecuador, such as Jorge Icaza whose novel ''Huasipungo'' (1934) is the most important indeginist novel from Ecuador.〔Waves of Decolonization: Discourses of Race and Hemispheric Citizenship in Cuba, Mexico, and the United States, p.182, David Luis-Brown, 2008〕 Chaves was born in Otavalo. He was married to Magdalena Marie Ribreau, who died of a stroke in 1982. In 1991 he received the National Grand Cross of the Order of Merit.
