Hey, it's your host, Kamea. I just wanted to quickly share that Alchemize, our 12-week audio-based program of daily imagination and creative practices, is now open for enrollment again. My personal favorite theme from the program is Into Otherness, where I personally lead a practice called You Are Water, and some of our past guests lead

invitations like, you are a honeybee, or you are lichen, or you are fermenting.

There are also grounding practices to support you to re-web yourself within your more-than-human

community, and so much more. The question I had was, what could it be like to go beyond just

thinking about the topics that we often discuss on the show and to engage them in more

interactive and embodied ways? If this speaks to you, I welcome you to join us today at

greendreamer.com slash alchemize. Working alongside other indigenous nations, I've seen the threats that come from the outside,

threats that also reach my own territory.

And when we achieved our historic victory, which was the first of its kind, it became clear that our story

needed to be told. Writing this book was necessary. As my father and the elders from

different nations would say, when the outside world does not understand something,

it destroys it.

Hello, dear one, you are listening to Green Dreamer, and I'm your host, Kamea Shane.

It is Earth Month, and I'm so, so incredibly honored to bring you my most recent conversation with Waurani leader of the Ecuadorian Amazon Nemonte Nankimo. Her most recent book, co-authored with her partner and co-founder

of Amazon Frontlines, Mitch Anderson, is titled We Will Be Jaguars, also titled, We Will Not Be Saved in the UK.

And actually, we'll have a complimenting episode with Mitch Anderson coming right after this one.

So I would really recommend listening to both of these in honor of Earth Day and Earth Month.

Just a quick note, in our original interview, Niemonte was responding

to me in Spanish, so this episode was produced with English translation support by the Amazon

Frontline team, and the English voiceover that you'll be hearing was done by Ketchua actress,

and our past guest Natalie Kelly.

Also, the featured intermission music that you'll be hearing later was provided by the Waurani community.
