This is a firsthand account of a small band of Amazonian warriors and their battle to preserve their way of life from the scourge of civilization. Joe Kane, author of "Running the Amazon", returns to the river to search for the Huaorani, a nation of 1300 nomadic warriors so remote that their language is unrelated to any other on Earth; so fierce that for millenia all comers have been turned away from their land, a territory in the middle of the Ecuadorian Amazon the size of Massachusetts, USA. In the 1990s, the Huaorani are besieged by oil companies, missionaries, indigenous bureacrats and envionmentalists intent on helping them better themselves. This is an account of the efforts of the Huaorani to vault from the Stone Age to the "Petroleum Age".

Joe Kane wrote about one area of the world which big business and the local people clash about culture, economics, education and infrastructure. This was in the equatorial region of the world. This reviewer lives in Alaska, but can easily relate to the sadness and the destruction of the natives world and will to live as we have done for thous... ands of years. And usually the media takes the side of the big business interests. That is what is so confounding. Joe Kane and his other non-Indian co-horts were brave and sincere in their work to let the cat out of the bag. Thank you so much, Joe Kane and the others. May you have colleagues who travel to the Northwest of the continent(s).
