Fellow list participants:
In a course for anthropology majors, we are currently discussing the =
debate
surrounding the Yanomam=F6, both from the angle of their alleged "fie=
rceness,"
and also the issues surrounding encroachment on their land by gold mi=
ners,
the involvement of anthropolgists and missionaries, etc. I assigned a=
=20
1992 Cultural Survival Quarterly article about attempts to make a par=
k
or biosphere reserve, but I would like to give my students an update =
on
those efforts since the article came out. As there is a brand new pre=
sident
in Brazil I imaginge that Brazil's part of the project has gone to th=
e=20
back burner, but I also wonder what Venuzuela has been up to.
I would appreciate any information from you, either news you know
or references for articles I can read, about the current state of
affairs... Thanks.
