    Change is inevitable and in most cases, change is a good, and much needed thing, especially when it comes from a place of adaptation and progression in a culture. However, there is a vast difference between culture change, and culture loss. While the gradual changing of a culture can be a revitalizing thing, the complete loss and total disappearance of a culture is never a thing to be celebrated. Less than ten years ago, a visit to the tropical rainforests between the Guaviare and Inirida rivers on the Amazonian basin of Colombia, you would have come across the indigenous people of the Nukak Maku tribe. Take a trip there today however, and the Nukak people will not be there. The Nukak people are just one of…

    Shaki, or Napoleon A. Chagnon’s 15 month enculturation with the Yanomamo tribe, Bisaasi-teri is characterized by fear, discomfort, loneliness, nosiness, and invaluable experiences through relationships and modesty about human culture. Chagnon documents the experience through the struggle and discovery surrounding his proposed research, as his lifestyle gradually comes in sync with the natural functions of his community. Much of his focus and time was consumed by identification of genealogical records, and the establishment of informants and methods of trustworthy divulgence. Marriage, sex, and often resulting violence are the foremost driving forces within Yanomamo, and everything that we consider part of daily routine is completely unknown and inconsequential to them. Traveling between neighboring tribes, he draws conclusions about intertribal relations, especially concerning marriage and raiding. Chagnon deals with cultural complexity that takes time to decipher, and in process, potential risk. Confronted with seemingly trivial situations, they often become unexpected phenomena and Chagnon’s adherence to documentation is amazing. He encounters personal epiphanies that I find intriguing, related to privacy and hygiene. This report becomes an inspiring document of an extreme anthropologic lifestyle as much as it is a cultural essay.…
