This is a short story in the Waorani language about Gikita, a Waodäni hunter. An inscription, possibly written by Rachel Saint, reads, “Rather than ‘destroying the culture,’ the translations have helped to preserve it by teaching the people to write and read their own stories and so prepare them to receive the Word of God.” Rachel Saint was a missionary in Ecuador among the Waodäni people from the 1950s until her death in 1994. Her brother, Nate Saint, was one of the five missionaries who were killed by a Waodäni hunting party in 1956. She, along with Elisabeth Elliot, returned to the tribe to work on the creation of a writing system for the Waodäni. Rachel spent her life advocating for the Waodäni people in both civic and religious matters.
