Jana of the Jungle was part of the Hanna Barbera Power Hour, 1978.
The synopsis is: An infant girl is orphaned in the Amazon rain forest and is raised by the native chief, Montaro. As she grows up, she becomes a lithe maiden perfectly at home in the jungle, armed only with a special neckband she can use as a throwing weapon that her jaguar companion, Ghost, is trained to retrieve. Together, with Montaro, who is armed with the mystic Staff of Power, they now search for her father and helping people along the way against the dangers of the jungle and its enemies.
Hence, my nickname used to be "Jana of the Jungle" long before any little kid called me Jana Banana. And, if I have my way, I will someday go to the Amazon rain forest, wear a protective necklace,and proclaim to all the jungle creatures that "I am Jana of the Jungle....." and wait for my jaguar to show up.
