Yanomami
The Yanomami, also spelled Yąnomamö or Yanomama, are a group of approximately 35,000 indigenous people who live in some 200–250 villages in the Amazon rainforest on the border between Venezuela and Brazil.
==The name Yanomami==
The ethnonym Yanomami was produced by anthropologists on the basis of the word ''yanõmami'' which, in the expression ''yanõmami thëpë'', signifies "human beings." This expression is opposed to the categories ''yaro'' (game animals) and ''yai'' (invisible or nameless beings), but also ''napë'' (enemy, stranger, non-Indian).〔("The name Yanomami", ''Povos Indigenas no Brasil.'' )〕
According to ethnologist Jacques Lizot:
:"''Yanomami'' is the Indians' self-denomination...the term refers to communities disseminated to the south of the Orinoco, () the variant ''Yanomawi'' is used to refer to comunities north of the Orinoco. The term Sanumá corresponds to a dialect reserved for a cultural subgroup, much influenced by the neighboring Ye'kuana people. Other denominations applied to the Yanomami include ''Waika'' or ''Waica, Guiaca, Shiriana, Shirishana, Guaharibo'' or ''Guajaribo, Yanoama, Ninam,'' and ''Xamatari'' or ''Shamatari.''"〔Jacques Lizot, ''Diccionario Yanomami-Espanol,'' Central University of Venezuela, Faculty of Social and Scientific Economics, Caracas, 1975.〕
