- Meaning
- a feminine Tsimane name whose lightness of sound belies the depth of the cosmological world it inhabits; Tsimane cosmology centres on the figure of Dojity, the trickster-creator who shaped the world through a combination of deception and generosity, and on the shaman-healers known as sinyé who mediate between the human community and the spirit world through song, ritual, and plant knowledge; a girl named Cori enters this world as a new node in a web of relations stretching back through generations of river-dwelling, forest-harvesting people whose survival strategies have attracted intense scientific interest for what they reveal about human health and longevity
