The Yanomami people 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. The Yanomami tribe currently consists of approximately 32,000 to 38,000 people. The first report of the Yanomami is from 1654, when a Spanish expedition under Apolinar Diaz de la Fuente visited some Ye’kuana people living on the Padamo River.

Yanomami live in large circular communal houses called ‘yano’ or ‘shabono’, which can accommodate up to 400 people
