Yanomami
The Yanomami (spellings include Yanomamö which may be written with an ogonek under the first 'a' as Yąnomamö; also referred to as Ianomami and sometimes Yanomani) are an indigenous people of Brazil and Venezuela. They were studied by Napoleon Chagnon, who called them "the Fierce People" in his first edition of The Yąnomamö, but later changed his title after spending more time with them and coming to a better understanding of their culture.
