In 1975 Ken­neth Good, a doc­to­ral can­di­da­te in cul­tu­ral an­thro­po­lo­gy, tra­ve­led to the head­waters of the Orino­co in Ve­ne­zue­la to live and stu­dy among the Ya­n­om­amö. He joi­n­ed an­thro­po­lo­gist Na­po­le­on Chagnon for what was sup­po­sed to be fif­teen months of fieldwork, fun­ded by a ge­ne­rous grant from the Na­tio­nal Sci­ence Foun­da­ti­on. But Good would end up li­ving al­most full-time with the Ya­n­om­amö for more than twel­ve ye­ars, sha­ring their li­ves, be­co­ming flu­ent in their lan­guage, and mar­ry­ing a Ya­n­om­amö girl na­med Yari­ma.
