Advance Praise for:

The Amazon is burning - The flames of 21st-century resistance inspired by indigenous women. True tales from 25 years of Vigilante activities in defense of native peoples of Amazonia by the Caribbean's most radical indigenous rights activist.

"Damon Corrie tells the world a story of courage, determination, love for the land and the quest for Justice from Indigenous peoples' perspective.

"As a young Chief of the Kalinago in Dominica 39 years ago, I experienced what it was like to become the target of an attempted coup by a hostile Caribbean Neo-Colonial government, just for re-asserting my peoples inherent rights as recognized under International Law, So I applaud brother Damon's noble and fearless efforts to bring justice to our oppressed peoples in Amazonia!"

Chief Irvince Auguiste

Most famous leader of the Kalinago Tribal Nation of Dominica island, Caribbean
