	Francisco Orellana
		According to Carvajal, the chronicler of the expedition, the natives were commanded by warlike women of imposing aspect, and he was told that the country belonged to women, who lived alone in communities.
		Orellana was certainly the first European to navigate the Amazon for the greater part of its course.
		A relation of Orellana's first voyage, by Friar Gaspar de Carvajal, was presented by the former to the king in 1542, and is to be shortly published in Madrid.

	Freefire Zone Forums - Heart of Darkness: Orellana's navigation of the Amazon
		Whether Orellana actually intended to explore the Amazon — for this is what the great river was — and claim the discovery for himself, or whether he could not return because, as he later stated, the current was just too swift, is a matter for conjecture.
		Orellana’s expedition endured hundreds of such ambushes and skirmishes, often having to run the river under a hail of poisoned arrows.
		Orellana and his men were greeted as heroes, and his fame quickly spread to Spain, where he was well-received by the King.

	Ana Lucrecia Orellana Stormont v. Guatemala, Case 9120, Report No. 56/96, Inter-Am.C.H.R.,OEA/Ser.L/V/II.95 Doc. 7 rev. ...
		When Professor Orellana Stormont was disappeared by agents of the Government, she was necessarily placed outside of and excluded from the juridical and institutional order of the State.
		In effect, the Commission has concluded that Professor Orellana Stormont was tortured and that one of the torture methods used was to cover her head with a hood sprayed with insecticide, knowing that because she was an asthmatic, this would bring on asthmatic attacks.
		The Commission has concluded that the abduction of Ana Lucrecia Orellana Stormont on June 6, 1983, her disappearance, and the subsequent denial of justice, all in violation of rights recognized in Articles 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 25 of the Convention, were perpetrated by Government agents using their position of authority.

	Francisco de Orellana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orellana took part in the Spanish conquest of Peru with Francisco Pizarro, and was one of Gonzalo Pizarro's lieutenants during Gonzalo's 1541 expedition east of Quito into the South American interior in search of La Canela, the illusory "Valley of Cinnamon".
		In one of the most improbably successful voyages in known history, Orellana managed to sail the length of the Amazon River, arriving at the river's mouth in August 1542.
		It was on this voyage that the Amazon got its name; Orellana wrote that he was attacked by fierce female warriors, but it is possible that he actually fought long haired male Amerindian warriors.
