yanomamo tribe

The Yanomamo My name is Eric Dunning and this is my proposal to go and study the Yanomamo tribe in the rain forests of Brazil. I have compiled a historical outline of the Yanomamo tribe and some of their religion and culture, ranging from marital status to the type of food they eat. I have chosen this tribe because according to many anthropologists the Yanomamo are perhaps the last culture to have come in contact …

…Western diseases that make there way to the Yanomamo. Perhaps even introduce some sports from the American culture, knowing that the Yanomamo people are and aggressive tribe I should probably not teach them really competitive sports, as long as I want to stay alive. I want to contibute to the Yanomamo because hopefully they will contribute to me and we can learn from one another, without ruining the beliefs and original culture of the tribe.
