Daniel Munduruku compiles and retells ten tales about indigenous people who live in Brazil. The author invited people of different ethnicities to choose the stories and transcribe them as they were originally told. Some tribes chose tales of creation; others, fables; and others try to pass on their traditions. Each indigenous group is depicted with beautiful photos to bring a little of their culture to life. There are also landscapes that show the geographic diversity of the territory where the indigenous peoples live in Brazil. Wilmar D’Angelis, an indigenous person, linguist and university teacher, pens the afterword. For him, “this book offers the readers a chance to be in touch with other ways of talking about the different realities of the world or teaching these differences to the younger generations.”
