Kurumi Guaré in the Heart of the Amazon. He has even organized the Forest Folk Alliance, which gathers indigenous communities in the Amazon. Born in the territory of the Krenak people, a place deeply affected by mineral extraction, the author is one of the main Brazilian activists in the socio-environmental movement and the defense of indigenous rights. In “Ideas to postpone the end of the world” (Ideias para adiar o fim do mundo) ( Companhia das Letras, 2019), Ailton Krenak instigates the reader to rethink the idea of humanity as something separate from nature and to reflect on the environmental disasters caused by our current way of life. All the works were published by houses that participate in Brazilian Publishers – a partnership between the Brazilian Book Chamber ( CBL) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency ( ApexBrasil). With this in mind, we selected five excellent works by indigenous authors for those who want to immerse themselves in Brazilian native people’s culture. 
Fortunately, more books written by native authors have reached the hands of readers and helped us to better know and understand their traditions and beliefs. Books are also a gateway to better understanding unknown communities or whose history is only transmitted orally, such as the Brazilian native folk. Reading is one of the most practical and enjoyable ways to discover new stories, characters, and cultures, whether fictional or not.
