The falling sky : words of a Yanomami shaman

Davi Kopenawa (Author), Bruce Albert (Author), Nicholas Elliott (Translator), Alison Dundy (Translator)
Anthropologist Bruce Albert captures the poetic voice of Davi Kopenawa, shaman and spokesman for the Yanomami of the Brazilian Amazon, in this unique reading experience--a coming-of-age story, historical account, and shamanic philosophy, but most of all an impassioned plea to respect native rights and preserve the Amazon rainforest
