Hidden among the 390 billion trees of the Amazon rainforest, lives the Yano tribe. For the past 8000 years, they have slipped through the silk screen of contemporary civilization.
Nammu was their shaman priestess. The Yano were zealots of animism. They performed the dreaded death ritual of endo-cannibalism. Yano culture did not accept that death was a natural manifestation of life. Instead, they held that a rival tribe’s shaman had sent an evil spirit to kill them.
Nammu was a deity, leading her tribe and the beasts. Banksia, her she Jaguar guarded her.
The Yano experienced a timeless existence of perfect harmony.
