Who they are
The Yanomami Ninam live in the tropical forests of northern Amazonia, along riverbanks in the region between Brazil and Venezuela. Also known as the Yanam, they maintain a deep connection to the forest, drawing their livelihood from growing cassava, hunting, and fishing. A substantial proportion of their villages profess the Christian faith, living out the gospel as an integral part of community life in the forest.
