“The land must be respected. The land is our heritage, cultural heritage, which protects us. Mining can only destroy nature. It can only be destroyed streams and rivers and kill the fish and kill the environment -.. and kill us and get the diseases that never existed on earth “
This ground of appeal hear sound today in the jungles apartment Indians South America’s Amazon said in response to illegal gold mining. They unwaveringly and adamantly opposed to the real danger that the adoption of the government’s legislation to legalize those mining expeditions to rape their land, pollute the waters with mercury, threaten the indigenous way of life, and in even more dangerously, spread disease, the inhabitants of the forest.
cattle ranchers gold miners to log in to the business, illegal raping the earth is happening at an alarming rate. Pollution and disease alerts and greatly saddens those of indigenous peoples. David Yanomami (one of the most respected Amazon “page” or Medicine for men) predicts that the white man does not stop the perverse destruction of Mother Earth that white people are doomed to extinction, through the rain forest and the Yanomami.
The Yanomami people of the Amazon basin is one of the largest, somewhat isolated tribes in Brazil and Venezuela, and they are the oldest examples of the world’s forest footmen. Although most of them live in areas of common external connection, some of the natives still “uncontacted” (the Moxateteu) of civilization, living deep in the rain forest and mountains, such as some related tribes comfortable ride. But nothing hinders progress, so the threat of disease and death outsiders is extremely worrying. People express those countries ‘uncontacted’ relatives, as gold miners and loggers “boldly go where no man has gone,” deeper into the jungle. We annoying viruses, such as colds, a deadly race ranks who had never seen anyone in the cold.
Combined, the Yanomami areas of southern Venezuela (Alto Orinoco – Casiquiare Biosphere Reserve) and northern Brazil among the largest forested indigenous territory in the world. Although this race includes a total population of nearly 32,000 (this varies between publications), these hunter-farmers loyal to restrict direct family groups. Each group is made up of large and multifamily housing, depending on the cone-shaped or xapono called Yano and villages consisting of a rectangular-type houses region, where it is based. All the same housing or community considers himself self-governing. Favor, marry within their own community of relatives who your son or daughter’s maternal uncle or paternal aunt.
Yanomami a polygamous society, people are generally having more wives. Reproductive success is linked to the number of wives a man … War is almost a way of life of the Yanomami, and although less than a woman in a male population of nearly one-third of deaths among men over women fighting directly related to race. Marriages are usually arranged in advance and her husband often chosen based on how well her man to the battle.
Regardless, however, of preference maintained links these groups schemes the various groups close to some extent, overlap and form links one end of the complete structure Yanomami houses and villages in the local region of the other.
Like many indigenous tribes in other parts of the world, to watch the Yanomami own rainforest to meet the survival needs. Hunting, fishing and all of agriculture is necessary for sustenance, and every few years when the resources run out in one area, you just have to move from the village to the other, more abundant place. It is possible that the Yanomami are not traditionally gardeners, and only recently did they start cultivating horticultural crops.
House Yanomami villages of the tribes in a variety of different-sized circles with the same center. People from different communities gather the farthest (third round) of the funeral ceremonies, which include cremation and / or burial sometimes crush and drink the ashes of the dead, the final ceremony intended to keep their loved ones with them forever. Hunting is abundant in some regions outside is a kind of expedition, which will take several weeks. As you move closer to each center will remain collective actions, though not solemn. The areas closest to the center is used daily events, fishing, agriculture, hunting, etc.
Women are resilient people of this beautiful and functional weaving baskets. Both the housing and the burden baskets decorated with geometric patterns of red berries and chewed on coal (both also used for coloring clothes and decorate their bodies). Interestingly, the women also do the majority of fishing. Women catch the fish by hand and breaks the neck of their teeth.
Yanomami carve their own wooden arrows and dart tips are starting fires with sticks, and a garden with great skill. The blowguns are equipped with darts fashioned tapered threads, and though they may appear fragile, even in the biggest game does not fit one of the darts dipped in venom extracted from poison arrow frog. These side stroke causes the frog to excrete the poison and then boil it down to increase it. Blowguns incredibly accurate. Similarly, bows are made of a flexible piece of wood strung and hand-spun thread through the rainforest. The arrows may be described in the same way as shown in the modern world, as far as the shaft. This is where the similarity ends there as arrowheads can be carved out of wood or animal or fish bones. People are starting to learn survival skills in the very young. Sometimes practicing archery posted a lizard cord when mere boys.
The Yanomami people practiced spiritualism as a religion. For them, the rain forest is no more than provide food, this is the place where the spiritual life to. All plants busy animal spirits ( xapirip) to influence and hold it in their bodies. A big cheer them spiritual powers that allow them to heal their friends, as well as damage to the enemy. However, the same exhilaration believed to have long been human and is now being punished because of bad things have been, while in human form. Shaman tribe prepares and regularly see, and that they are within the ghosts by using hallucinogen Yopo or more of wild tobacco at the same time a potent strains. They believe the Yopo, inhaling through the nose like a different person blowing through a tube, transfers spiritual energy.
The Yanomami spirit, thought to live three levels of existence, finally, though the universe is actually composed of four layers to each other. Once captured creatures now staying in lower floors, the upper layer is currently considered void and has no effect on life on Earth. However, the second layer is inhabited by (mis hedu s) of the spirits of the dead men and women. Here, people are forever young and beautiful, the food tastes and smells better, the game is much more plentiful, and hunting is easier. The Earth is the third level and the fourth hei ta bebi (Underworld). In this layer, the Amah-teri resident evil may cast over people.
The Yanomamo culture, only men can become shamans. If someone gets sick, the Yanomami believe the condition is caused by the enemy shaman. To create a cure, friendly shaman sees exactly what’s wrong, and using his own demons, pull out the offending demon. To prepare for the ordeal, the shaman adorns herself and decorating the environment, collecting a variety of herbs and inhale hallucinogens to help him contact the HEKU.
Many ecologists is the Amazon rain forest “lungs of the earth”. They agree wholeheartedly the Yanomami leader David Kopenawa who concluded:.. “The forest-land will only die if it is destroyed by whites Then the streams will disappear, the earth will crumble, the trees dry up and the rocks of the mountains crashes during the heat of the xapirip spirits who live in the mountains and play in the woods eventually escape. father, a shaman, will not be able to summon them to protect us. forest-land will be dry and empty. shamans will not be able to deter the smoke-epidemics and the malefic beings who make us sick. and so everyone is going to die. “
