The emphasis of these pages is on Ayoreos and other
American Indians as living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Ayoreo history is interesting and
important, but the Ayoreo Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional
folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies
of yesterday.
