Davi Kopenawa Yanomami
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davi Kopenawa Yanomami is the respected Portuguese speaking shaman of the 10,000-member Yanomami Indians in Brazil. Davi learned Portuguese to protest the Brazilian government's exploitation of the rainforest and brought worldwide attention to the dispute. He received an award from the United Nations Environmental Program in 1988 and was featured in an ethnographic documentary A Man Called Bee. Davi has become a common first name in Brazil today.
