Pemon

One of my students traveled to Venezuela and brought back a card of a Pemon women. This tribes lives in parts of Venezuela, Brazil and Guyana. The remote Canaima National Park was established in 1962, providing the people with a safe territory. It is protected as a UNESCO world heritage site. The people farm and collect wild foods; most are now Christians. Tourism and resource production are becoming a concern for this South American tribe.
