I am a young Xipai Indigenous man, and have lived my entire life in a village in the middle of the largest tropical forest on the planet, the Amazon. As an Indigenous man, I know very well the pain of the forest, because its body is an extension of ours. When I speak of the body of the forest, it is neither this nor that; it is everything. It is the other humans who live within it: it is a tree, it is the ground, it is the river, and those who live within it. So I knew my questions would be intertwined with everything that constitutes me as an Indigenous being.
