Journey into the Paraguayan Chaco
A charming collection of firsthand stories and illustrations about the indigenous tribes of Paraguay’s Chaco area by a former SAMS mission partner has just been published.
These remarkable journeys on horseback in Paraguay introduce the reader to the tribal people whose life and language Jack Sanderson shared so closely as to earn the name ‘Howuk’ ‘brother’.
Jack was writing about a time when Paraguay’s wild Chaco area had dense animal and bird populations. They are all here, alligators and anteaters, capybaras, caotimundis, jaguars and pumas. His encounters with people and nature are so vivid the reader feels he is there with him.
It is appropriate for anyone aged 9 upwards and enjoyable for children and adults alike.
Sales of the book will benefit Chaco communities and will go towards literacy projects as the Indian communities seek to maintain their cultural heritage in a rapidly changing world.
‘’The book is a fantastic resource- not only for western people to understand what an Indian culture is like and how it has changed but also to re-establish the history and identity of Enxet Indians, ‘’ Says Caroline Gilmour White, Asuncion-based CMS Mission Partner.
