The Yanomami People"I have a hard time looking at the Yanomami people as "natives", "Indians", "aborigines", or whatever you may wish to call them. I see them as human beings, people who have the same emotions and feelings as you and I. After all, the word Yanomami simply means "human being." Must we look at them as some kind of exotic beings that exist only to satisfy our curiosity?"
There was a docmentary about the Yanomami people made in 1991. It's called "Contact: The Yanomami Indians of Brazil". It's gives a detailed account of the major gold rush that effected the Yanomami people causing 20% of the population to die during the time.
