What plants do the yanomami tribe use?
tom r
^ ermm okaay...?
For food, the Yanomami eat most of what the jungle can offer, which is quite a wide variety of foods. They feast on all kinds off edible fare ranging from snakes, wild pigs, monkeys, deer, and jaguars to varieties of insects, larvae, fish, crabs, wild honey, plantain, sweet potato, and palm fruits. By world health standards, the Yanomami enjoy a high standard of living. Nevertheless the voracity of the Yanomami's hunting practices has in the past been highly exaggerated, taking into account that upwards of eighty to ninety percent of the food eaten by the Yanomami tribes is from their gardens. Of course the Yanomami have to hunt to survive but they are equally - if not more - committed to the cultivation of their gardens. It has been debated that the Yanomami actually lack protein in their diet because they eat so much more fruit and vegetables than meat produce. :)
Low protein in vegans is not a problem, there's plenty of protein in vegetables and fruit. The USDA RDA for protein is 50g/day where as the average vegan gets about 70 gm of protein per day. In actuality, only about 20g/day of protein is needed to maintain good health.

5 Most of the caudillos who ruled Latin American countries after independence?
I am taking the same quiz :) answer is: were concerned mainly with getting rich and holding power
they lived in New Mexico in 1800's and invaided and killed the colianist who settled in NM
Actually, that's not true. The Pueblo Indians are a group of Indians who live in special houses called pueblos. Or, they did back then. There are Pueblos still alive today, but they are modern (as in, have modern clothes, modern food, modern technologies). Back in the times before Texas and New Mexico were Texas and New Mexico (I.E. before they were states), the Pueblos would hunt, farm, and, among other things, fight with the Spanish. They would attack anyone who tried to TAKE their land or KILL another one of them, but if you were new and weren't in cahoots with a Spaniard enemy, they would welcome you in and learn about you.

What contributed to revolution in Spanish America?
The European intellectual movement called the Enlightenment, which also inspired the American Revolution (1775-1783) and the French Revolution (1789-1799).
Well, there are many reasons that these three men, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Simon Bolivar, and Miguel Hidalgo, were very important to the Latin American Independence Movement. Although, I will sum it up so you won't spend hours reading this:
Freeing Latin America has involed many people. It was a long and hard struggle. Though, many failed, many still ended up succeeding. Toussaint L'Overture tried to free Haiti from France (failed but Haiti did still end up getting their independence), Simon Bolivar tried to free multiple countries, such as Venezuela (succeeded plenty), and last but not least Miguel Hidalgotried to give Mexico's independence for Spain (failed).
Who did the Incas think Pizarro was?
Francisco Pizarro (1478-1541) was a Spanish conquistador who traveled through much of the Pacific coast of America along Peru. He "discovered" the Incan empire and conquered it brutally and quickly, stealing immense hoards of gold, silver, and other treasures.
Which revolution created the first nation that had gained independence from a European power?
"gaining independence" usually prescribes a "from" in the end of it, followed by the name of country/hegemon.
Historically (in Europe), I suppose first countries/nations got their independence with the collapse of Roman Empire, - more so the ones on the outskirts of Empire. So one may guess England and France, Balkan nations, as well as Middle East countries to be those among first ones to gain independence :)
Did the incas have a strong army?
yes but they didn't have a chance against the conquistadors
the conquistadors had diseases (small-pox, ect) that they brought, it spread like crazy, killing everyone
