The Dayuma Story: Life Under Auca Spears is a non-fiction book written by Ethel Emily Wallis. The book tells the story of Dayuma, a young girl from the Huaorani tribe in the Amazon rainforest, who was captured by the Waodani (formerly known as the Aucas) tribe in the 1950s. Dayuma was taken as a hostage by the Waodani people, who were known for their violent and aggressive behavior towards outsiders.The book details Dayuma's experiences living with the Waodani people, including her struggles to adapt to their way of life and her eventual acceptance into their community. The author, Ethel Emily Wallis, was a Christian missionary who worked with the Waodani people and played a key role in helping Dayuma to return to her own people.The Dayuma Story also provides insight into the cultural practices and beliefs of both the Huaorani and Waodani tribes. The book explores themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the power of faith in overcoming cultural barriers and promoting peace.Overall, The Dayuma Story is a compelling and inspiring account of one woman's journey to find her place in the world, and the transformative power of compassion and understanding in bridging the divide between different cultures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
