The study investigates the causes of death of indigenous Ecuadorians and the correlation between these causes and gender, age, marital status, region of residence, natural region and level of instruction. We investigated the relationship between the variables with the use of chi-square test. Also, a descriptive and a multidimensional analysis were realized. The multidimensional data analysis presented the differentiation criteria of the dead indigenous Ecuadorians and their classification into clusters according to their common characteristics. The results of the study showed that there is a significant part of the dead indigenous Ecuadorians that consists of children younger than 10 years of age whose most common causes of death were influenza and pneumonia. The traffic accidents, suicide, dementia and Alzheimer's disease are the most common causes of death of the indigenous people between 20 and 50 years of age. The most common causes of death of indigenous people older than 60 years were heart failure, malignant neoplasms, chronic lower respiratory diseases and hypertensive diseases.
