- Discover the thoughts, history, and customs of the Shuar of the Amazon, as told in their own words. - Tribe members explain their practices of shapeshifting and headhunting; the interdependence of humans and the environment; the role of ecstatic sex; their belief in war as a path to peace; and their faith in arutam, the life spirit. The indomitable Shuar of the Amazon--reputed to be the only tribe in the Americas that has never been conquered--have lived as warriors, hunters, cultivators, and healers for generations. Even in today's acquisitive, often wasteful world they defend their rainforests and sustainable ways of life and offer their philosophy of love, joy, and hope. More than three decades after first befriending members of the Shuar, author and environmentalist John Perkins and his publisher, Ehud Sperling, inspired Shakaim Mariano Chumpi-a young Shuar warrior who has fought in the jungle war between his native Ecuador and Peru-to travel among his people and record their thoughts, history, and customs. The result is Spirit of the Shuar. Here, in their own words, the Shuar share their practices of shapeshifting, dreaming the world, and ecstatic sex, including the role older women play in teaching uninitiated men how to please. They explain the interdependence of humans and the environment, their formula for peace and balance, and their faith in arutam, the life-giving spirit of nature that allows each of us to transform ourselves. And they describe how their ancient-and current-practice of shrinking heads fits into their cultural philosophy. Whether exploring the mystery of shamanic shapeshifting, delving deeper into the powers of healing herbs and psychotropic plants, or finding new ways to live sustainably and sensitively in the face of encroaching development and environmental destruction, the Shuar have emerged as a strong people determined to preserve their identity and beliefs and share their teachings with a world in dire need of their wisdom. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Ayumpum Foundation to help the Shuar conserve their forests and spread their message.Binding Type: Paperback

A hardy chew toy
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
My dog loves these! I have purchased several. The size is perfect for my 25-pound cockapoo. It’s durable and she chews them for months until they’re prickly and not as fun anymore. The price is reasonable enough and she loves them so well (they’re one of the two chew toys that she likes), so I feel like the cost is worth it.
One thing to note is that my dog does chew off tiny bits from the bone. She usually spits them out but has swallowed some bits here and there. There hasn’t been a situation with the swallowed pieces, but I always monitor her as she uses it and would suggest that for other pet owners also. Safety is always key, but we have never had any problems in the two years I’ve been buying them.

Golden approves. Good size. Durability is hard, she did end up chewing the heck out of it. Great for puppies.

Don't recommend for any type of chewers
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
Same product, don't recommend due to slicing of material. My pup is a chewer and he was a 4mo old Chug at the time. Not worth my worrying about him swallowing plastic

Dogs of all ages love these bones
Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
All my dogs love these bones. My older dogs as well as a teething puppy. These bones helped when my puppy was teething. My older dogs always enjoy a good chew. Doesn’t disturb the stomachs. They lasted long time. I was not worried my dog was chewing something bad. I wish they were thicker. The pet store sells this brand for $6 each. I feel like I m getting a bargain buying here.
