Celebrate! Connections Among Cultures

(National Geographic (Little) Kids) #1

A Yanomami man carries two
armadillos that have been roasted
over an open fire. Armadillo is a
special food for the Yanomami
and is only served on important
occasions. Today the armadillo
will be eaten to honor a member
of the community who died.


An Aboriginal boy catches a
carpet snake curled inside a
hollow log. The snake will be
roasted and eaten to celebrate
walking on a Dream Journey.
When walking on a Dream
Journey, Aborigines travel
ancient pathways they believe
were originally traveled by their
ancestors. This reconnects them
with their land and spiritual past.
