The Falling Sky: Words of a Yanomami Shaman

The Falling Sky by Davi Kopenawa is a powerful and moving account of an indigenous culture living in harmony with the Amazon forest and its creatures, and their devastating encounter with the global mining industry.

As a shaman and spokesperson for the Yanomami, Kopenawa recounts his initiation as a shaman and first experience of outsiders, providing a rare first-person articulation of shamanic philosophy.

This impassioned plea to respect indigenous peoples' rights is a powerful rebuke to the accelerating depredation of the Amazon and other natural treasures threatened by climate change and development.
