We are all one and we all live on the same planet; this is the idea behind the 22 first-person accounts in the book, where each double-page spread presents a contemporary and stimulating insight into more than twenty native peoples, the first to inhabit territories that today are depleted by a "civilisation" that seeks only to gain profit from them.

Among these peoples, a communal sense of life prevails, based on reciprocity, solidarity and mutual aid; on avoiding overindulgence and honouring what is received.

French-Uruguayan author Nat Cardozo has crafted a unique book with beautiful illustrations that blur the boundaries between human beings and the environment.
