This shy girl watched me as I walked around the house until the moment she saw me turn the camera to her...and then she fled up the ladder towards her hammock. Childhood for the Yanomami is a carefree time, where learning is mixed with play and responsibilities that are acquired gradually over time.

The Yanomami, once in the Parima Mountains, now reside in valleys due to historical invasions. They have a population of about 38,000, with three primary languages. In 1990, Mirella Ricciardi supported their territory demarcation, which was achieved in 1992. In 2022, a new mining invasion caused a humanitarian tragedy surpassing the challenges of 1990.
