"Faces of the Rainforest," Valdir Cruz's first monograph, is a prophetic portrait of a people on the brink of extinction. The "Yanomami," native to Venezuela and Brazil, are believed to be descendants of those who migrated over the Bering Strait some twenty centuries ago, and have been residents of the Amazon for the past 15,000 years.
