Yanomamo Yanomami leader quote

 

  

ABOUT THE ENEMY GOD PROJECT

Yai Wanonabälewä: The Enemy God  began with a request from a group of indigenous Yanomamö (or Yanomami). They asked if we would help them to tell their version of the history of their communities in the Amazon. 

After years of violence and fear, they want to tell the world about the new ways of peace and hope that they have discovered for their people. It is the story of a significant group, led by a respected headman whose Spanish name is Bautista.  You can hear his thoughts directly by clicking here.

Our promise to him and his community is that we will help them to bring their story to a wide audience. It is their story and no one else's. And it is true.
