The Shuar are an indigenous tribe living deep in the heart of the Amazon rain forest. They're renowned for being the last tribe in the Americas that has yet to be conquered. They are bred and raised to be fierce warriors and defend their title of being the last conquered. Because of development and the bringing of modern day civilization and industry, the Shuar have had to move deeper into the Amazon. Being exposed to this development has led to the lives and traditions of Shuar to change slightly, yet they still practice almost all their key traditions and always keep them close to their heart. They are a spirit minded people who have lived in balance with nature and learned from Earths three sacred "Teacher Plants"." The Shuar want to share their message of safely coexisting with nature to the countries and people currently struggling to find and maintain that balance. .
I chose this book not only due to the lacking Anthropology section Bookman's had to offer, but because on face value and after skimming through the book, it touched on many beliefs and interests I have. The Shuar have lived among nature for centuries, and have lived in balance, preserving the resources of the forest, using only what they need. This is a lesson that all developed countries need to learn, how to live a comfortable life while also not depleting the help Earth has to offer us. The religious beliefs the Shuar have would most closely mirror a Hindu or Buddhist religion due to their belief in universal oneness and reincarnation, which they call "shapeshifting ". I also have always has a strong interest with the Amazon Rain Forest and all the life that thrives there. Beginning the book I knew that I could learn many things from the Shuar and the wisdom they have acquired in the deep jungle. .
In the late 1960's John Perkins, author of "Spirit of the Shuar" was volunteering in the Peace Corps, helping to bring civilization to undeveloped" areas of South America.
