A member of a South American Indian people whose empire centred on Peru (4)

I believe the answer is:

inca

(Other definitions for inca that I've seen before include "Ancient Peruvian like Cain" , "Tongue" , "Pyramid builders" , "Ancient South American" , "South American (historical)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
