Evo Morales made history by becoming the first-ever Indigenous president in Latin America. During his presidency, the economy boomed and the quality of life for Bolivia’s Indigenous people improved. Not only did their economic positions change, but Bolivia became a plural national state that gave equal status to Indigenous peoples. We are the Children of the Island of the Sun is a trilingual book (Aymara, Spanish and English) that gives children a glimpse of Indigenous Andean beliefs and their relationship with the earth. Evident is the deep connection the Aymara have with the sacred mountains around them and even with the food they harvest.
