The Sun, The Moon & The Spirit and Other Warao Tales - Paperback

by Crystine Alleyne (Author)

This book is a collection of a few legends of the Warao nation as passed down from generation to generation. It tells the tale of the sun and moon, how our ancestors came to Earth and the fantastical tale of how the canoe was invented!
The Warao tribe are Indigenous People that originated around the Delta Orinoco in Venezuela. Often referred to as the water people, they build their villages close to the riverbanks. The Warao believe that our people came from the Kuimare - the world above the sky and our elder ancestors still reside there.
