Yanomamö Territory


The Yanomamö, also known as the Yanomamö Indians, are a population of native people in South America. They are located in the Amazon rainforest, they reside among the mountain lines along the border between Brazil and Venezuela. Due to the remoteness of their territory, the Yanomamö Tribe has remained not contacted by the modern world until the beginning of the twentieth century, therefore this allowed many of their religion believes or common practices not be influenced by the modern world.
Above is the territory of the Yanomamö, as you can see, they are located in different terrain. Therefore, different Yanomamö must eat different goods, for example a tribe living near a stream would eat fish. However, if a village is located deep in the forest it would eat bananas and vegetable. The stars on the map repersent the village locations.
