Ayahuasca: Tourism vs. Tradition

"Talk given at the 3rd Amazonian Shamanism Conference, addressing the commercialization and banalization of shamanism... If you want to know more about the topic of new age, plastic shamans, "Who owns native culture?" deals with every aspect of the appropriation of traditional knowledge, not just spiritual and religious practices."

This video was made in 2008. Jerónimo M.M.'s blog, "Legitimos Guerreritos," has current info on the ayahuasca documentary project and other matters related to indigenous culture.
