An illustrated introduction to the culture, beliefs, customs, & unique heritage & wisdom of an endangered people: the Yanomami. They inhabit the depths of the Amazonian tropical rain forests. Their lifestyle is based on an intimate knowledge of their environment & the ways in which they share its resources. They have a rich spiritual & ceremonial life with beliefs centered on the creation of a multi-layered universe, imbued with spirits, the healing powers of the shaman, & the observance of the vitally important reahu, or funeral feast, which affirms the value of life & ensures the continuance of the community.
