Surprising Sense Of Humor Of The Yanomami Indians


While I was photographing the young man in the following picture, he paused for a few seconds, looked at my friend, the French anthropologist Bruce Albert, and said: “When Victor will be through photographing me, would you ask him to lend me his camera? I’d like to photograph him while he tries to climb that tree over there.
     The Yanomami have an amazing sense of humor, and this was just one instance among many that kept me laughing during the very pleasant month I spent among them, illustrating a Time-Life book. And how they enjoyed hearing me laugh! That’s all it took for my hilarity to echo around the whole huge communal house.

Tandis que je photographiais le jeune homme dans la photo qui suit, il s’arrêta un moment, regarda mon ami, l’anthropologue français Bruce Albert, et dit: »Quand Victor aura terminé de me photographier, pourrais-tu lui demander de me prêter sa caméra? J’aimerais le photographier essayant de grimper à cet arbre là-bas. »
     Les Yanomamis ont un sens de l’humour surprenant, et ceci ne fut qu’une de leurs intelligentes plaisanteries  qui m’ont fait rire incessamment durant le mois très agréable que j’ai passé entre eux, illustrant un livre de Time-Life Books. Et comme ils aimaient m’entendre rire! Il ne fallait que cela pour qu’une rigolade générale me fasse écho autour de la case communale.
