The Plight Of Yanomani

Yanomami, additionally recognized as Yanamamo, Yanomam and Sanuma, are congregational indigenous beings who inhabit villages in the Amazon Rainforest of South America, however, they predominately occupy northern Brazil and southern Venezuela. Yanamamo are often seen as hunters, fishers and gardeners, with females planting and males executing the more onerous and toilsome work. Their culture consists of approximately 35,000 natives and up to 250 villages, with 95% residing deep inside the forest and the other 5% who live adjacent to rivers. Yanomami are contemporarily in a menacing and wretched predicament. On account of outsiders invading their land and disturbing their isolation, the Sanuma's customs and traditions are gradually becoming forgotten.
