Threatened for the Gold Under their Feet



Brazil. Amazon rain forest. Yanomami Indian decorates his son's head with birds down. The Yanomami live under the constant threat of massacre by illegal gold miners, loggers, and cattle barons. It’s common to dismiss tribal peoples as savages not worth protection. They are no savages. Isolated from the great civilizing movements they have simply perpetuated an ancient way of life. Savages are so whose greed does not respect life—human r animal.

Brésil. Amazonie. Indien Yanomami décorant la tête de son fils avec du duvet. Les Yanomamis vivent constamment sous la menace de massacres par d’illégaux chercheurs d’or, bucherons et grands propriétaires de troupeaux. Il est facile de croire les sociétés tribales sauvages. Mais elles ne le sont pas. A l’écart des grands mouvements civilisateurs elles ont simplement perpétué d’anciennes traditions. Sauvages sont ceux dont la cupidité ne respecte pas la vie—humaine ou animale.
