Wiki says the Chachapoyas originated as a culture at the earliest 750 AD and were adsorbed by the Inca just before the conquest. The were said to be white skinned and many were blond. Where did they originate? That’s a 64 thousand dollar question.

“That he be considered white” was a legal snippet that was common in the Spanish colonial empire of the Americas; basically, everyone was some shade of tan, but it was possible to become legally white, meaning Castilian. I don’t put much stock in the ‘blond and blue-eyed’ stuff.
