Figure 3.2. The school in Sheroana is located within the circle of the shapono in a small hut thatched with palm leaves under a tree. Next to the school is the lean-to roof where communal shamanic sessions take place nearly every day.

It outlines the territory of the Yanomamï or the “central Yanomami” and depicts the locations of the selected Yanomami communities and the mission posts discussed in the text. There are many more Yanomami villages or shaponos in this region which are not shown here.
