The author presents a comprehensive study of the various forms of ownership and nurture in Native Amazonian societies, highlighting their unique perspectives on property and its significance in their cosmology. The book begins with an exploration of land ownership, shedding light on the complex ways in which indigenous communities perceive and manage their territorial claims. The author examines the concept of "ownership" in the context of Amazonia, where property relations are often viewed as the antithesis of Western property-based civilization.
