Features: On the planet shared by humanity, there live thousands of diverse and culturally rich ethnic groups. Beyond the well-known major ethnicities, there are also mysterious ethnic minority tribes with small populations that remain largely unknown to us. Like our Chinese nation, they all have their own long history and unique culture. For thousands of years, they have lived in remote areas such as mountains, rainforests, deserts, and polar regions, leading a free and unrestrained life in harmony with nature. The authors of this book are all seasoned experts and renowned scholars. With elegant and fluent writing, accessible language, and vivid images, they introduce readers to the historical origins, customs, natural environments, and lifestyles of various ethnic minority tribes around the world. This book opens a window for Chinese readers to understand the primitive tribes of ethnic minorities globally, offering a fresh and eye-opening perspective. At the same time, it should be noted that the views presented in the book solely represent the authors' personal opinions, and we believe readers can approach and interpret them appropriately.
The Amazon rainforest in South America is not only a home to towering trees, colorful birds, and dazzling flowers but also a home to the Yanomami people. They have lived in this region for thousands of years. In the past, the Yanomami rarely encountered people from big cities or other countries, but in recent years, outsiders have ventured deep into the rainforest. Through this book, we can learn how the Yanomami live in harmony with the land beneath their feet—hunting, fishing, gathering fruits and nuts, and growing vegetable gardens in their small villages. We can also see how outsiders bring modern tools and machinery to the region, harming the rainforest and its inhabitants. Finally, the book explores the efforts made by people around the world to protect the Yanomami and their tropical rainforest, the environment they depend on for survival.
