A Man Called Bee Assignment
a. Describe, in detail, how the Yanomamo Indians gain access to food.
The Yanomamo natives use an ancient form of agriculture in order to cultivate and access their own food. This is called, the slash and burn method or, it can also be known as pioneering cultivation. In Yanomamo culture, once an area of land has been cleared and farmed, it is never to be re cleared or cultivated for a second time. And, after a garden is long abandoned, the peach palm plant will continue to bear fruit. Therefore, Yanomamo natives tend to keep new and old gardens relatively close together in order to exploit all of their peach palm crops, new and old.

    After lunch, our group decided that it was important for us to find out the problems of people in the area and to attempt to address them in whatever ways possible. To do this, it had been suggested that the group divided itself into pairs of two and went door to door in the village, interacting with the villagers. Although I believed that the idea was, on the whole, a positive one I was still apprehensive about the approach.

But as we kept trekking through the village, I realized that the distance was merely in the head. The villagers ranged from old women to middle aged families and young adults. Some were very hesitant in talking to us but soon started interacting openly. Others were extremely vocal throughout. Shivaan and I noticed an underlying set of problems that pervaded the entire village. These included a water problem, an economic divide, gender issues, etc. I mulled over all these problems in vain. What was the solution that I could provide in a day, in a flourish to people who were far removed from who I was or where I lived? In the evening, my perception underwent a change. We decided to put up a program that would encompass two plays, a dance routine and a panel discussion. I was part of both the plays and enjoyed outlining…
