The history and ways of the Yanomami are fascinating. Spanish explorers in Brazil met the Yanomami in 1654 and discovered a group of people who didn't want contact with others. “The Yanomami do not recognize themselves as a united group, but rather as individuals associated with their politically autonomous villages. Yanomami communities are grouped together because they have similar ages and kinship, and militaristic coalitions interweave communities together."

European gold minors soon discovered gold deposits in that area of the Amazon, where the Yanomami lived. By the end of the 20th century, 30,000-40,000 gold miners had invaded Yanomami territory; that was five times the amount of Yanomami in the region! Direct contact with the Yanomami didn't happen until the 1950s, when Christian missionaries traveled to Brazil. Modern researchers are learning more about their society in an attempt to preserve their culture.
