A Banana Leaf Protects Yanomami Indians from the Rain



Brazil. Amazon rain forest. On their way to a peach palm soup drinking party organized by a neighboring clan, these Yanomami indians await their turn to cross a river with the clan's single canoe. The banana leaf protects them against the rain. The calabashes crowning their heads will serve as plates.

Brésil. Amazonie. Ces hommes Yanomamis, en chemin avec d’autres invités á une soupe de fruits de palme préparée par un clan voisin, attendent leurs tours de passer une rivière avec le seul canot du clan. La feuille de bananier les protège de la pluie. Les calebasses dont ils se sont coiffés leur serviront d’assiettes.
