Subsistence

Subsistence

For the Yanomami people, their means of subsistence would be a combination of hunting, fishing, and agriculture. The hunting is normally done by the men, while the fishing is done by both the men and women. For agriculture, the Yanomami people use the slash and burn method for clearing the land. The men normally participate in the initial work - the chopping down and the clearing, and the women seal with the maintenence work such as planting, tending to the crops, and weeding.
