In the Amazon rainforest, an indigenous tribe fights for survival

For thousands of years, the Yanomami tribe in the Amazon River Basin has sustained life and cultivated the landscape into a rich biodiverse environment filled with life in all forms. Current-day efforts to displace them are underway through illegal mining projects for gold, which are bringing in diseases, deforestation, and conflict similar to that of the first days of colonization in the Yanomami tribal homeland. Efforts to educate young tribal members about demarcation are underway and can be a cause for celebration, and the ever-looming reality of profit sits above them with the potential to remove them from their ancestral homelands.
