spirit of the rainforest

I'd like to call your attention for a book I've just read that is my opinion essential to the future understanding of indigenous cultures and their inevitable opening to the rest of the world. the book is even more important because it is written by one of the most prominent tribe leaders and clearly exposes the unbelievably unethical conduct of most anthropologists working in the amazon with the yanomano.

to give you an example one of them is here depicted as a child molester and great promoter of killing and rape just because this is the 'tradition' of this people. other will refuse medicine to a women the moment she denies having sex with him and he actually lets her die.

but more important than the above comments which my indignity could not avoid, is the spiritual world this book portrays and in particular the spiritual quest of it's author. if nowadays in the west there is a large number of people embracing shamanic spirituality and either merging it or opposing it to the Judaic-Christian tradition, in the confines of the amazon jungle there are people walking the opposite path. whatever your perspective on the subject I'm sure this book will renew it and enlarge its scope. it is absolutely essential for anyone interested in the rainforest, shamanism and the spiritual future of mankind.

The amazon.com review indicate that it is a good read as you have also indicated. I'll check it out, thanks.
