Posted on: May 24, 2005 | Views: | Comment
The Yanomami tribe of Venezuela and Brazil is the largest indigenous nation in the Americas. In the early seventies, anthropologist Kenneth Good traveled to Venezuela to study the people of the Yanomami for his doctorate degree. His plan was to observe them for fifteen months of fieldwork. Instead, he stayed for twelve years, was accepted into the tribe, and even married one of its members, a woman named Yarma, with whom he had three children.
