The modem world only recently reached the Yanomamo, a native people of the Amazon basin. Sheltered by thick rainforest, the Yanomano lived a self-contained existence until gold was discovered in their jungle homeland. Miners flocked into the forests, cutting down trees and bringing in disease and shot those Yanomamo who would not get out of the way. In just seven years from the early 1980s, the population fell 20 percent.
Hands Around the World, a native American cultural association, says the Yanomamo are believed to be the most culturally intact people in the world. They wear loin cloths, use fire sticks and decorate their bodies with dye from a red berry (浆果). They don’t use the wheel and the only metal they use is what has been traded to them by outsiders. When a Yanomamo dies, the body is burned and the remaining bones crushed into a powder and turned into a drink that is later consumed by mourners in memory of the dead.

B. would not leave their jungle homeland
