In July 1993, near Haximu, a tiny hamlet in the Amazon rainforest,
a fateful meeting between a group of young Yanomami Indians and
Brazilian gold miners resulted in the massacre of the Yanomami.
News of the tragedy shocked Brazil and the world. But mysteries
remained: What exactly happened at Haximu? How many people died?
Who killed the Indians and why? Using eyewitness accounts, this
work tells the story behind the Haximu massacre. Set in the context
of the Amazon gold rush, it describes the failings of Brazil's
official indigenous policy, the tragic cultural misunderstanding
between the gold miners and Yanomami, and analyzes the role of gold
fever in the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and its people.
