Clarification[edit]

I assume based on the rest of the article that the word "them" in the following sentence:

"Two days later more Waoranis arrived and killed them, plunging their families into deep grief."

refers to the original Waoranis that the Elliots met (and not the Elliots themselves!). Someone who can verify this should clarify the wording. - dcljr (talk) 02:19, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they did kill the 5 men. It sure is amazing that the wife of one the men they killed returned to work with them. Anyway, I've clarified the sentence. --Spangineer (háblame) 13:00, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

Better citation about health of Ms. Elliot is needed than a quote from an individual. A published report would suffice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.181.107 (talk) 00:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I will continue to search for a more authoritative source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grammarian3.14159265359 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Books[edit]

The list of books by Elisabeth Elliot is still incomplete. They need dates and ISBN numbers adding too. DFH 18:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gateway to Joy[edit]

Elliot carried on a radio program, "Gateway to Joy", for 13 years... it was fairly widely syndicated I believe. I would think there would be some reference to that in this article. http://www.elisabethelliot.org/radio.html

Huaorani/Auca[edit]

While Elisabeth Elliot's books refer to the tribe as Auca, and that's a fairly accepted (and internationally known) name, the correct name for the tribe is really Huaorani. Auca seems to be a pejorative name given by the Quechua to the tribe, meaning enemy, so I've tidied up the links to reflect this. It now states in the first instance 'Auca (now known as Huaorani)', and just 'Huaorani' in each instance after this. Hope that's a reasonable solution!sb (talk) 09:31, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maruja?[edit]

The article says "But before she started work, she listened to the words of Maruja, a woman of a neighboring tribe." What does this mean? Did she learn the local language from Maruja? Did she speak with her once, or on an ongoing basis? What did Maruja speak to her about? Did she offer words of advice, warning or encouragement? It's not clear what is meant by the phrase "she listened to the words of." Could someone clarify?Sadiemonster (talk) 13:46, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
