Description
Summary:"The personal journey of Ayahai, an 80-year-old Ayoreo elder, whose life spans the period of dramatic transition for the Ayoreo of South America's Gran Chaco as they moved from nomadic hunter/gatherers to wage laborers. Ayahai's testimony of the critical contact moment with Westerners is juxtaposed with the memories of Dr. Charles Ramsey, another octagenarian who was one of the first missionaries to reach Ayahai's group in the 1950s."
