Mima is the youngest of four brothers and two sisters. She is known as the child who always loves to go into the forest, where she helps her mother gather herbs and her father hunt for monkeys, birds and wild pigs. Her father is teaching Mima how to make poison darts and use the blow gun. Mima, who is barely four feet tall, was struggling to steady and aim the eight foot-long blow gun. (Huaorani )
