AN INDIAN AMONG LOS INDIGENAS A Native Travel Memoir

Narrator Diana Bustelo brings this travel memoir to life in a tone that adds depth and warmth. The audiobook recalls author Ursula Pike's experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer in Ecuador when she was in her late 20s. A member of the North American Karuk Tribe, Pike hopes to connect with Ecuador's Indigenous people. Yet, arriving from the U.S. with a degree in economics, she recognizes her own privilege and often feels out of place and isolated. Unsure at times how best to contribute to the community, she remains eager to help. Bustelo narrates moments of hesitation in a halting tone that conveys Pike's self-doubt. Her warm, youthful voice pairs with the material beautifully. She narrates words in Spanish in a neutral accent. A.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2025]
