content: Edited film produced from the 1971 Yanomamo film project shot in the Amazon Basin of southern Venezuela and northern Brazil between the Negro and Upper Orinoco rivers. The laborious and tedious daily work of collecting wood by Yanomamo women is revealed in this film. A woman is shown chopping a large log as her children play nearby. The day's worth of wood is loaded into a large basket and the burden slung on a tumpline from the woman's forehead for the return to the village.
