Description

Una inspiradora historia real sobre como una activista trabajo en la Amazonia con otras comunidades indigenas 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 crecio en su aldea kichwa, en la Amazonia ecuatoriana, donde seres miticos llamados Amazangas ayudan a proteger la selva. Debido a los estudios, Paty dejo su hogar hasta que se vio obligada a regresar. En la busqueda de petroleo, companias que afirmaban que el gobierno les habia vendido propiedades estaban destruyendo las tierras del pueblo de Paty. La comunidad kichwa trabajo junto con otros grupos indigenas para llevar al gobierno ecuatoriano ante la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Esta emotiva historia, de narrativa poetica y bellas ilustraciones, recordara 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.
