We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People

This is the third book that I’ve read this year that will stay with me forever! Tough read . I despise the missionaries! The author is a remarkable Indigenous woman from the Ecuadorian rainforest. Activists like the author Nemonte play such a crucial role in protecting our planet.
I loved how her community interpreted dreams.,where their ancestors are (spirit of jaguars), plants for medicinal help. Etc..There’s one plant in the rainforest that if you touch the leaf it closes- this works for putting babies to sleep! I love that!
I will support Amazon Frontlines, a respected group, mentioned in the book, to see in my small way, besides limiting my driving/flying and see how I can help!
