"Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest--one of the last to be contacted by missionaries in the 1950s--Nemonte Nenquimo had a singular upbringing.

Is She Really a Jaguar?

I'm reading this book as part of a zoom book group. So far, we are just almost through Part 1 of the book, which is about her childhood, and how her life is impacted by white missionaries. I'm looking forward to Part Two when, hopefully, she becomes a Jaguar for her people.

Forest

Remarkable real life story of the fight for preservation of rain forest in the face of oil exploration and development. This account takes you into the bosom of the forest as only those who dwell there can share and convey.

Powerful and Transformative inspiration

I had not ever heard a story from the mouth of someone who had lived in the beginning of colonization . The language the poetry captures all of what has been lost and yet offers a way to heal

A fight for survival

This a beautiful book whose roots are deep in the Amazon. They never gave up in spite of the inhumane treatment they suffered. The struggle continues everywhere.
