SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Discussion: "We Will Be Jaguars" by Nemonte Nenquimo
DESCRIPTION:"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.\n\nShe was taught about plant medicines\, foraging\, oral storytelling\, and shamanism by her elders. At age fourteen\, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. Eventually\, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams\, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened.\n\nTwo decades later\, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate change activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against Big Oil\, protecting over a half million acres of primary rainforest. Her message is as sharp as a spear―honed by her experiences battling loggers\, miners\, oil companies and missionaries.\n\nIn We Will Be Jaguars\, she partners with her husband\, Mitch Anderson\, founder of Amazon Frontlines\, digging into generations of oral history\, uprooting centuries of conquest\, hacking away at racist notions of indigenous peoples\, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich\, harsh\, and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself." -From the Publisher\n\nFind the ebook/eaudiobook here
