Nemonte Nenquimo is a young Waorani woman leader on the frontlines of her people’s battle against Big Oil. She is also a founding member of the Ceibo Alliance, an indigenous organization based in the Ecuadorian Amazon, comprised of Waorani, Kofan, Siekopai and Siona nations. In this video portrait, Nemonte visits her grandfather’s homeland in what is now known as Yasuni National Park, and an area which has been severely impacted by oil exploitation. Together with the community, Nemonte works to bring clean water to the Waorani communities affected by the dire situation, and shares her reflections and worries for the future generations. • • Since the creation of this video, Nemonte Nenquimo has been at the forefront of her people’s struggle against oil threats in the Pastaza region of the Ecuadorian Amazon and helped lead her people’s historic legal victory against the Ecuadorian government protecting a half-million acres of their ancestral territory from oil drilling. Now, the Waorani people are fighting to ensure the Ecuadorian government complies with the court ruling. • • Read more on Waorani communities building clean water solutions in the Amazon: https://bit.ly/39ejNDn • Visit the Waorani’s digital campaign website to find out more about their legendary struggle” : https://waoresist.amazonfrontlines.org/ • Follow @AmazonFrontlines • AF Twitter: https://bit.ly/2Uo3sGM • AF Instagram:https://bit.ly/3aoZBjT • AF Facebook: https://bit.ly/2Udro12 • Amazon Frontlines is a non-profit organization working closely with indigenous peoples to defend their rights to land, life, and cultural survival in the Amazon. • Learn more: www.amazonfrontlines.org • Support: www.amazonfrontlines.org/donate
