You laugh, but people sign up to Techstars for just that every year. Pity they didn't throw in some AWS Credits as well.

We're talking about indigenous nations. What the hell are they going to do with AWS hosting?

If they're fighting over the '.amazon' TLD then presumably they'll need some form of hosting no?

I still agree it's a stupid offer from amazon though.

We're not, actually. The "nations of the amazon" referred to in the article are "Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela - all members of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization"

In this case, I could see AWS hosting being useful to them (maybe even something along the lines of GovCloud like AWS runs for the US Government)
