This is a remarkable book told from a unique perspective. Damon Corrie is a hereditary chief of the Eagle Clan, of the Arawak Tribe based mostly in Guyana. He has made a lifelong study of the mystery animals and animal folklore of his people, and we believe that this is the first time that these remarkable accounts have been collected together in a single volume. On top of that, the CFZ's very own Richard Freeman has added a number of appendices describing the expedition that he and Damon went on back in 2007.

This is a remarkable book told from a unique perspective. Damon Corrie is a hereditary chief of the Eagle Clan, of the Arawak Tribe based mostly in Guyana. He has made a lifelong study of the mystery animals and animal folklore of his people, and we believe that this is the first time that these remarkable accounts have been collected together in a single volume. On top of that, the CFZ's very own Richard Freeman has added a number of appendices describing the expedition that he and Damon went on back in 2007. We heartily recommend this new volume to anybody interested in the mysteries of South America, and the mythology which shapes the people who still live there.
Damon, like his 3 older siblings, was born on the Caribbean island of Barbados. His mother Audrey named Damon after the American author Damon Runyon, and from a very young age Damon exhibited a passion and love for writing; however, like most aspiring authors Damon found it impossible to share his manuscripts with a broader audience (until he discovered draft2digital), so for over 3 decades his many works in many genres gathered dust on his bookshelf of unfulfilled dreams. Damon is a 4th generation descendant of the last traditional Hereditary Shaman Chief Amorothe Haubariria (Flying Harpy Eagle) of the Bariria Korobahado Lokono (Eagle Clan Arawaks) of Guyana, South America, Moreover, the grave of Damon's great grandmother is the only known burial site of a member of Lokono-Arawak nobility in the entire Caribbean - and with a tombstone written in both the English and Lokono-Arawak language, it has become a tourist attraction in the Westbury Cemetery in the capital city of Bridgetown Barbados. Damon has the gift of premonition dreams and being able to see and communicate with deceased loved ones, and since he married back into the tribe at the age of 19 in 1992, Damon has become the most radical indigenous activists the Caribbean has produced in living memory, and his real-life escapades and supernatural experiences feature in his writings. Damon was a member of the Caribbean Caucus on the Indigenous Peoples working group of the Organization of American States (OAS) from 2000 to 2016, and helped create the Declaration of The Americas on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and he has been a registered participant of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) since 2007 (where he also co-mentors international students and writes for the Tribal Link Foundation), as well as being an autodidact journalist with news articles published in 4 continents, and a writer for the Last Real Indians indigenous media website. Damon (46) and his wife Shirling (44) have 4 living children, sons Hatuey Francis (26) and Tecumseh Shawandase (23), and daughters Sabantho Aderi (20) and Laliwa Hadali, and all live in Barbados.
