There are around 24,000 Yanomami tribe members that all live in South America. 15,000 of the tribe members live in Venezuela, while the other 9,000 live in Brazil. The size of the territory they live on can be compared to the size of Austria. They have been around for 50,000 years, when the first people arrived in South America. The tribe lives in villages scattered around South America. They change their place of living every 3-4 years say they can find new land to plant gardens.
