Yanomami Funeral Rights


Yesterday we saw a Yanomami funeral. List two ways that they are similar and two ways they are different from funerals/ burial rights in the United States. Is there anything that we do that the Yanomami would find offensive? Is there any rights that the Yanomami perform that would seem strange to westerners?

  5. it is similar because in the Us people are dre lov end they always want their love one to be forever in their heart.......when they drink the bones its showing hoow much we apprectiate that person as a person who cremats their family rember so they feel theyre spirts are always by heart

  6. They make the ashes into soup and onely the honored and close family drink the soup. U.Sburried dead people or burn ans save ashes . To the yanomami it will be offensive to burry them because they love them and want them to live with in them even though they are dead
