Member of an indigenous South American people whose empire centred on Peru (4)

I believe the answer is:

inca

(Other definitions for inca that I've seen before include "Member of ancient Peruvian tribe" , "Pre-conquest Peruvian" , "mountain dweller" , "Original Peruvian" , "Former emperor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
