For the Yanomami people, the fruter (fruit tree) holds significant cultural and nutritional value. It provides essential food sources, contributing to their diet and sustenance. Beyond nutrition, fruit trees are often intertwined with their spiritual beliefs and social practices, symbolizing life and abundance within their rainforest environment. Thus, the fruter is integral to both their survival and cultural identity.

The Yanomami people speak Yanomamö, which is a language in the Yanomaman family. It is primarily spoken in the Amazon rainforest across parts of Brazil and Venezuela where the Yanomami indigenous group resides.
The yanomami were not killed specifically by gold miners, but conflicts between illegal miners and the yanomami have occurred due to land disputes in the Amazon rainforest. The yanomami have faced violence, disease, and environmental destruction as a result of illegal mining activities in their territory.
