Centre of the World
"The whole world should come and see how well the Huaorani live. We live with the spirit of the jaguar. We do not want to be civilised by your missionaries, or killed by your oil companies. Our land is priceless. Must the jaguar die for you to have still more pollution and television?
There are so many cars in your world. In ten years, it will resemble pure metal. Was it your god who achieved that? More people, more cars, more oil, more chaos. But here, the Huaorani are alone at the centre of the world.”
--Moi, Huaorani, Ecuador
