We, the undersigned, have all labored with Yanomami Indians for extended durations
at totally different occasions over the last 5 many years. We’ve got intently witnessed them to be a
usually peaceful individuals, who, as many conventional individuals do, often have interaction
in inter-village conflicts (ritualized raids and duels). But the casualties of those
culturally managed conflicts are extraordinarily low if in contrast with these of the
violence and contamination inflicted on the Yanomami by the gold miners and cattle
ranchers who invade their lands. We completely disagree with Napoleon Chagnon\u2019s
public characterization of the Yanomami as a fierce, violent and archaic individuals. We
additionally deplore how Chagnon\u2019s work has been used all through the years \u2013 and will nonetheless
be used \u2013 by governments to disclaim the Yanomami their land and cultural rights.<\/p>\n
