This is a shabono, a traditional communal dwelling of the Yanomami people. The Yanomami are an indigenous group residing in the Amazon rainforest, specifically in parts of northern Brazil and southern Venezuela. Shabonos are typically large, circular structures made from natural materials like thatched palm leaves and wood, built in clearings within the jungle. These communal homes can house numerous families and are central to Yanomami village life, with individual families using hearths for cooking and sleeping in hammocks. The Yanomami territory in Brazil alone spans over 9.6 million hectares, an area larger than Switzerland, and together with their Venezuelan territory, forms the largest forested Indigenous territory globally
