NOVA visits the
Waorani Indians of Eastern
Ecuador less than
30 years after their first contact with
Western civilization.
Left largely undisturbed because of their traditional hostility toward outsiders, a few families remain deep in the rainforest hunting game with blowguns and spears. They also cultivate gardens, make weapons and tools and maintain traditions that date back to the
Stone Age.
The Yanomami are an indigenous tribe (also called
Yanamamo,
Yanomam, and
Sanuma) made up of four subdivisions of Indians which live in the tropical rain forest of
Southern Venezuela and
Northern Brazil. Each subdivision has its own language. They include the
Sanema which live in the
Northern Sector, the Ninam which live in the southeastern sector, the Yanomam which live in the southeastern part and the
Yanomamo which live in the southwestern part of Yanomami area.
The Yanomami depend on the rain forest; they use "slash-and-burn" horticulture, grow bananas, gather fruit, and hunt animals and fish. Yanomami frequently move to avoid areas that become overused, a practice known as shifting cultivation when the soil becomes exhausted.
The Yanomami are known as hunters, fishers, and horticulturists. The women cultivate plantains and cassava in gardens as their main crops
. Men do the heavy work of clearing areas of forest for the gardens. Another food source for the Yanomami is grubs. The practice of felling palms to facilitate the growth of grubs was the Yanomami's closest approach to cultivation. The traditional Yanomami diet is very low in salt. Their blood pressure is characteristically among the lowest of any demographic group. For this reason, the Yanomami have been the subject of studies seeking to link hypertension to sodium consumption.
Today about 95% of the Yanomami live deep within the
Amazon forest as compared to the 5% who live along the major rivers.
Compared to the "forest people," the "river people" are much more sedentary and subsist by fishing and trading goods such as canoes and hooks with other villages.
The "forest people" are horticulturists as well as hunters and gathers. They will spend up to two hours of their day "garden farming" which is quite a labor intensive process. Some of the crops grown include sweet potatoes, bananas, sugar cane and tobacco. However as horticulturists the Yanomami do not get sufficient protein from their crops. Therefore the Yanomami will spend as much as 60% of their time trekking
.
Men usually make up the hunters and the women the gathers. Men will go on long distant hunts that may last up to a week. The fact that just about all of the Yanomami live deep within the forest has been quite significant for their survival.
Since most outsiders have invaded the Amazon via the large rivers, the Yanomami have been able to live in isolation until very recently. Because of this they have been able to retain their culture and their identity which many Indians of the Amazon have lost.
Trade also is another important aspect of Yanomami life and helps to reduce the chances of warfare between villages.
Often one village will have manufactured goods that are badly needed by an other village
