We learn with the great spirits

Below are some images of the Yanomami people of Brasil. More can be found on the website of survival international.


To the Yanomami every tree, rock, mountain and creature has a spirit.


The Yanomami shamans are not only protecting their own community, but looking after the rest of the world as well. They know that our planet is changing. The sky is full of smoke because our rainforest is being logged and burnt. The rains come late, the sun behaves in a strange way. The lungs of the sky are polluted. The world is ill.

Where will we go when we have destroyed our world?

When the planet is silent, how will we learn?
