The falling sky, published in 2010, is the testimony of David Kopenawa, shaman yanomami and an important figure in the fight of indigenous rights at Brazil. Among the aspects of Kopenawa's narration I want to highlight the details of his travels toward Londres, Paris and New York. For me the goal of this travelling is the defense of place. Kopenawa travels with the resolution of denounce and criticize State politics and capitalist economy, which provokes deaths of Yanomamis people and the damage of his Earth. According with this point I argue that Kopenawa's travel is not only physical mobility but also epistemological and ontological. Travelling is a passage by which Kopenawa introduces another conception of politic into globalized world. In this way this shaman shows us the creativity and power of indigenous agency. Therefore, in this essay I will analyze the strategies and reasons of this mobility, according with politic and cosmological perspectives. In accordance with Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1987) I will define the concept of “movility”; whereas the work of Arturo Escobar (2004) help me to expose my definition of “defense of place”; finally, I will use Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's research with the purpose of explain my reading of yanomami cosmopolitic.
