Last month, Nemonte Nenquimo, a member of the Waorani tribe from the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest, who has lived a life deeply rooted in the traditions of her people, from plant medicines and foraging to the art of oral storytelling and shamanism, spoke to Partner, Matt Meyer about her memoir, Nemonte. Alongside her husband Mitch Anderson, founder of Amazon Frontlines, they weave a narrative that spans generations. Together, they delve into the oral histories of her tribe, confront the legacy of conquest, and challenge the racist perceptions of Indigenous peoples. Her story is a testament to the resilience and richness of the Waorani culture and the Amazon rainforest itself.
