Iwa counts the moons that separate her from her childhood while undergoing the three-year ritual confi ned and accompanied only by her mother and two elderly women, that will turn her into a special woman: a Wayuu princess. She tells us about her feelings, dreams and apprenticeship during that long night, in which she learned the traditions of her people, especially the ones related to weaving. She also remembers her childhood spent in a catholic boarding school. Her voice merges with the voice of another Wayuu woman, whose memories of Iwa’s confi nement fi nish the tale of the young girl. This story evokes the world of women in the indigenous town of La Guajira, whose traditions give them the strength to live in today’s world. Estercilia Simanca Pushaina was born in 1975, at the Wayuu Ranchería of El Paraíso in the Indian reserve of Caicemapa, in La Guajira, Colombia. Today she is a lawyer and works in for the indigenous Wayuu people. She writes poetry and stories. The book El encierro de una pequeña doncella was chosen as fi nalist in the XI Comfamiliar Award for Children’s Tales (Colombia, 2003).
