| Summary: | The Joaquina Grefa’s testimony, a Quichua girl kidnapped by Huaorani (Ecuador, 1945). In 1944, a group of Huaorani kidnapped a Quichua girl, who escaped a year later and narrated the story of her life among the Huaorani to an English missionary. Back then, relations between the Huaorani and the surrounding society were exclusively aggressive. For that reason, there were no eyewitness accounts. This converts Joaquina’s testimony in an extraordinary document, reflecting different aspects of Huaorani life, including forms of war. |
