Quilago's legend was passed down by the [[indigenous peoples of Ecuador]].{{Sfnm|1a1=Fine-Dare|1y=2019|1pp=34-35|2a1=Hyland|2y=2007|2p=72}} It was recorded in the ''Quito Manuscript'' by the Spanish chronicler {{ill|Fernando de Montesinos|es}}.{{Sfnm|1a1=Galindo Castro|1y=2008|2a1=Hyland|2y=2007|2p=72}} The title of "Quilago" has since been passed down into the surnames of northern Andean peoples, including Abaquilago, Angoquilago, Arraquilago, Imbaquilago, Paraquilago and Quilango.{{Sfn|Naranjo Gomezjurado|2014}}
 
As the final ruler of Cochasquí, Quilago has taken a central position in archaeological narratives of the Inca conquest of Ecuador.{{Sfnm|1a1=Benavides|1y=2008|1p=1067|2a1=Galindo Castro|2y=2008}} The story of Quilago's reign has also become an [[origin myth]] in the [[history of Ecuador]], drawing on contemporary ideas of [[indigeneity]] and [[gender]] to construct an [[Ecuadorians|Ecuadorian national identity]].{{Sfn|Benavides|2008|pp=1066-1067}} In this national narrative, Atahualpa has been held to be the "first true Ecuadorian"{{Sfnsfn|BeckerBenavides|Tutillo|20092008|p=221067}} or a "son of Ecuador"{{sfnSfn|BenavidesBecker|2008Tutillo|2009|p=106722}} due to his mixed heritage from Quilago and Huayna Capac.{{Sfnm|1a1=Becker|1a2=Tutillo|1y=2009|1p=22|2a1=Benavides|2y=2008|2p=1067}} In the 1930s, this theory provoked the [[Armed Forces of Ecuador]] to search for her remains, in order to "reclaim the [[mother of the nation]]".{{Sfnm|1a1=Benavides|1y=2008|1p=1067|2a1=Benavides|2y=2009|2p=188}} In the ruins of Cochasquí, the site's museum has been named after Quilago{{Sfn|Benavides|2008|p=1067}} and tour guides have made her the protagonist of the stories they tell about the site.{{Sfnm|1a1=Benavides|1y=2008|1p=1067|2a1=Galindo Castro|2y=2008}}
 
Cochasquí and Quilago herself have been [[Cultural appropriation|appropriated]] by Ecuadorian [[national myth]]ology, which retroactively re-framed the history in terms of modern [[nation state]]s.{{Sfnm|1a1=Benavides|1y=2008|1pp=1067-1068|2a1=Benavides|2y=2011|2p=131|3a1=Galindo Castro|3y=2008}} The portrayal of Quilago's forces as native Ecuadorians resisting Peruvian invaders has led to some Peruvian tourists abandoning tours of Cochasquí.{{Sfnm|1a1=Benavides|1y=2008|1pp=1067-1068|2a1=Benavides|2y=2011|2p=131}} The history's appropriation by Ecuadorian nationalist narratives has also served to deny the indigenous peoples of Ecuador their own historical continuity.{{Sfnm|1a1=Benavides|1y=2008|1pp=1067-1068|2a1=Fine-Dare|2y=2019|2p=35}}
