Question
Hello Mr.Hintz
I am a sophomore at K.P. High School. I am working on a term project to make a fake brochure that advertises an eco-tourism package in a tropical biome. My question is; what kind of living conditions do the natives of this particular biome live under. The type of natives I mean are the amazonian tribes.
After I get a respose, I will try to do some more research myself

Answer
Hi bradford:
 Te most well known indians of the Amazon are the Yanomami.  To find out all about them go to

You can also check out the Jivaro at google.  Maybe you can mention head shrinking in your brochure.
