"Noah Theriault’s A Forest of Dreams is an eloquent and sensitive account of his work with the Palawan people of the Philippines over two decades. A historically-informed ethnography about the paradoxes of indigeneity, conservation, and extractive capitalism, it takes seriously the onto-cosmological politics of the Palawan to include animals, plants, and spirits as agents in their own right. This book about how the Palawan negotiate all of these international forces while pursuing their own dreams at home merits reading by anthropologists and all those interested in the future of Indigenous rights." - Scott Simon, University of Ottawa
