'I'm here to tell you my story, which is also the story of my
people and the story of this forest.' Born into the Waorani tribe
of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest, Nemonte Nenquimo was taught about
plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her
elders. Age 14, 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. Two 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 the spears
that her ancestors wielded - honed by her experiences battling
loggers, miners, oil companies and missionaries. In this
astonishing memoir, 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.
