About the Book
"One activist's story shows how indigenous communities can fight to protect their sacred lands-and win"--]cProvided by publisher.Book Synopsis
Una inspiradora historia real sobre cómo una activista trabajó en la Amazonía con otras comunidades indígenas para proteger y preservar sus tierras y selvas sagradas. An inspiring true story about how an activist in the Amazon worked with other Indigenous communities to protect and preserve their sacred lands and forests. Patricia (Paty) Gualinga creció en su aldea kichwa, en la Amazonía ecuatoriana, donde seres míticos llamados Amazangas ayudan a proteger la selva. Debido a los estudios, Paty dejó su hogar hasta que se vio obligada a regresar. En la búsqueda de petróleo, compañías que afirmaban que el gobierno les había vendido propiedades estaban destruyendo las tierras del pueblo de Paty. La comunidad kichwa trabajó junto con otros grupos indígenas para llevar al gobierno ecuatoriano ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Esta emotiva historia, de narrativa poética y bellas ilustraciones, recordará a los lectores la importancia de conservar la naturaleza, ser perseverantes y alzarse en defensa de uno mismo y de la comunidad. Patricia (Paty) Gualinga grew up in her Kichwa village in the Amazon of Ecuador where mystical beings called Amazanga help protect the forest. Paty traveled away from home for school until she was called back--companies that said the government sold them property were destroying her people's lands to look for oil. The Kichwa community worked with other Indigenous groups to bring the Ecuadorian government to the Court of Human Rights. Lyrically told and beautifully illustrated, this moving story will remind readers of the importance of nature conservation, perseverance, and standing up for your community.About the Author
