Book Discussion: "We Will Be Jaguars" by Nemonte Nenquimo

"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. She was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders, and she has since emerged as one of the most forceful voices in climate change activism. In 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, and hacking away at racist notions of indigenous peoples." ---from NoveList Plus Search for the ebook and/or eaudiobook HERE Please note that this book discussion is taking place one week earlier than its usual second Wednesday due to library closure for Veterans' Day on 11/11.
