The
creation of the world is explained with drawings by a shaman
of the Tomaraho community, in the Northern part of the Chaco
region, Paraguay. The video captures a limpid and unspoiled
vision of the indigenous universe, and views the origins
of life as a gift from the cosmic forces that granted man
and everything else on earth the gift of existence, and
made humans accountable for their destiny. |
