Summary:

MARIA AMANCHIINA, a traditional shaman and healer from the Altai region of the Eurasian Steppes, found herself at odds with the Russian government and in the middle of a climate change debate about the return of the mummified Princes of Ukok. How this indigenous woman, dedicated to protecting her people and their sacred sites, dealt with these powerful global forces is a lesson for us all in learning to work together for shared benefit. NATALIE CONNEELY tells the story of Maria, an unlikely shaman and an unlikely climate justice warrior who works with scientists, the UN, UNESCO and other world heritage groups to preserve and educate about the precious history of her people. Our storytellers share these astonishing women with us conversationally and unscripted; we fact-check afterwards and note any major discrepancies for accuracy.
