Il ragazzo guerriero

Published for the first time on the pages of the weekly Il Giornalino in the seventies.

Tiki is a young warrior, belonging to the Amazonian tribe of the Yanomani , one of the countless small tribes of the rainforest. When his father, bitten by a snake, dies, Tiki must provide for the maintenance of his mother Makura. So he decides to go hunting, disobeying the authority of the shaman who orders his death. Foolish, but also brave, Tiki learns to hunt, saves himself and turns the shaman's tricks to his own advantage.
