(4) YA Way People Live series. Kallen profiles today's Yanomami people, the last truly primitive Amazon tribe. In clear, compassionate prose, the text discusses everyday aspects of Yanomami life--work, gender roles, spiritual beliefs and practices--as well as unanticipated challenges: diseases, ecological threats to the environment, confrontations with modern culture. The title's only demerit is for grainy and drab black-and-white photos and illustrations. Bib., ind.
