Description

Late one Saturday afternoon, three brothers leave their village to hunt wari, the wild pig their people depend on for food. While hunting they discover a magical vine that can make them invisible—but they will only enjoy this power if they promise never to sell the meat they hunt, and never to hunt with guns, only with sticks. All is well until European traders arrive to buy the precious wari meat—and the brothers forget the promises they made so long ago. This is a Miskito version of the classic folk theme of how the very thing that gives you power can turn against you if not respected and used properly. The Invisible Hunters is about caring for our environment and our community, and about not losing sight of what is important.

I was looking for some Miskito legends because I'm half-Miskito, yet unfamiliar with Miskito culture... having been raised in the US. So I bought this book & when it arrived, the first thing I noticed was that one of the authors was "Morris Vidaure". Mr. Vidaurre (that's the correct spelling) is my grandfather! I had no idea about this at all... so that was pretty shocking. Aside from that, it was an excellent book with a powerful theme. It's basically about how money tends to ruin things... the story lets you see how indigenous people viewed these interactions from traders. It's quite fascinating, so I suppose if you're into anthropology or other cultures or just stories with good morals, you might like it as well.
